Typeface of the Month: NewsSans
by Character Type
Our Typeface of the Month: NewsSans is a multi-tool typeface system incorporating no fewer than 90 styles. It was designed to allow a maximum range of visual shades when creating a typographic look, effortlessly ranging from loud and expressive, to subtle and reserved. The large x-height combined with low ascenders and descenders allows for tight and efficient designs. All sharp corners were trimmed off to add character and a nuance of extra space. NewsSans’ strokes link humanist curves with “American Grotesque” details and solid square stems.
The system contains nine weights from Hairline to Black, and five widths from Compressed to Extended, each accompanied by a proper Italic.
NewsSans was hand hinted for optimal screen performance. Each font contains more than 700 glyphs and all kinds of OpenType features like small caps, several numeral options and ligatures.
