Typeface of the Month: Cassis

Check out our new Typeface of the Month: Cassis! 

Cassis is a generous, soulful sansserif with more interest in personality than perfection; a sharp and generously proportioned typeface that projects an affable confidence. It draws from geometric logic and historical precedent without being limited by either: Swelling curves, reaching terminals, and a teetering balance of stroke weights infuse its geometric structure with plenty of flavor. Cassis is designed to offer compelling density at larger sizes.

Designed by Frere-Jones Type Senior Designer Nina Stössinger, the first versions of Cassis date back to 2014, and its development traces Nina’s own journey from their native Switzerland to New York City. Informed by early- through midcentury lettering in public space spotted in Switzerland, Belgium, and the United States, Cassis draws inspiration from both sides of the Atlantic, infusing European roots with American energy.

A powerful voice for branding, identity, and titling work, the Cassis family contains seven weights, from the spare Thin through the forceful Black. All styles support over 200 languages, covering all major languages in the Latin alphabet in Western, Central, and Eastern Europe; North, Central, and South America; and Vietnam.
