Span is a modern glyphic type family that flaunts its engraved heritage with sweeping serifs and sculptural forms. Bridging the contemporary and traditional, Span appears exuberant yet dignified. Designed primarily for luxurious headlines and titles, Span’s strong vertical stress is softened by elegant organic curves while its compact height accentuates the deep serifs.
The family offers five weights, each with three widths and italics. The condensed styles provide an invaluable advantage when designing within narrow spaces. Span’s italics strike a balance between true italics and oblique letterforms to create a change in rhythm while preserving its chiselled style.
A variety of additional features enhance Span's typographic capabilities including restrained swashes and flourishes are available in both roman and italic styles. Span also introduces an additional set of capitals for exceptional typographic control over uppercase settings. ‘Mid Caps’ sit midway between full-height capitals and lowercase letters and extend Span's title setting options to All Capitals, Capitals with Mid Caps and Capitals with Small Caps.
Choose Span and take full control over your title settings and produce classic typography with statuesque poise.
