A humanistic sans serif
The Charpentier Sans is intended to embody classic ideals as well as to meet modern demands. The proportions are directly derived from Roman capitals and the humanistic book-face.
Thanks to its traditional form language, Charpentier Sans is very legible, adapts to various forms of content and expresses a kind of calmness and certainty. Details resulting from writing with the quill guarantee that the font doesn’t appear too rough and unemotional.
Even the tiny, pointed mini serifs contribute to the unmistakable appearance of the font. They create an exciting contrast to the soft flowing forms of the letters and are, to a great extent, conducive to the legibility. Consequently Charpentier Sans always appears with an extremely sharp and clear outline.
It’s Italic has an even more distinct ductus derived from writing.
