Pensum Sans
A poetic and precise soul mate in the Pensum Trilogy. Based on the same legible skeleton as the Serif with distinguishing details!
Washington

Pensum Sans a poetic and precise soulmate within the Pensum Trilogy — a typeface with absolutely no serifs. No, not even one. As readable as Pensum Pro and with Italics, that are just as sexy, Pensum Sans is a workhorse for text, text and nothing but text.

With the same legible skeleton as the serif, Pensum Sans echoes and contrasts with its companions: steady rhythm, smooth and sharp shapes, unexpected details.

With nine weights, Thin to Black with matched Italics, Pensum Sans doesn’t kid around. The punchy Black’s higher contrast and the fashionable Thin weights ensure that Pensum Sans tackles extended text with ease, whether it is in magazines or news. Pensum Sans is robust in smaller sizes, where its ink-traps and the finely balanced contrast can work their magic — those exact same details make it impressive in headlines or large Italic quotes.

With more than a thousand glyphs, lots of OpenType features and definitely no serifs at all, Pensum Sans can fulfil every typographic need. For lovers of book typography, the small caps are wider than the caps and you will find punctuation in case and small-cap sensitive variations. Pensum’s encoding is a TypeMates standard and gives a wide range of flexibility for Latin language support.
