Alternate names for Light/Roman/Bold

armin

For example, House Industries’ Chalet comes in three different styles (1960, 1970 and 1980) and each has different weights, but instead of light, regular, bold they use Paris, London, New York.

I’m sure there are a bunch of other typefaces that forego the typical weight labels.

Examples would be appreciated!

PSY/OPS likes to use A, B, C ... Gauge for its weight names.

Smeijers uses Blond
