The classic-modern Sans Serif appearing in two styles


Two fonts in one: stylistic alternates give the font a completely different ”look.“


»Faber Sans« is a sans serif in the style of the classic modern typefaces of the early 20th century — Paul Renner's Futura and Gill Sans were the inspiration.

The result is a font with pleasantly rhythmic proportions that is extremely pleasant to read, especially in large amounts of text, but it is also easy to read under the typographically adverse conditions of the screen.


Several OpenType features are included in the font, which can be switched on and off as required:


Stylistic alternates:

replaces the letters a, f, g, l, r in each case with the alternative variant, also in the ligatures.


Ligatures:

replaces the letter sequences fi, fl, ff, ffi, ffl, ft, tt, Th with the respective letter combination.


Discretional ligatures:

replaces the letter pairs ch, ck, mmwith the respective letter compound and SS with capital ß.


Tabular numbers:

replaces the normal figures with tabular figures with identical character width.


Oldstyle numbers:

replaces the normal figures with figures that have ascenders and descenders like the lowercase letters.


Fractions:

replaces the character combinations 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 etc. with the corresponding fractions.


Slashed zero:

replaces the normal “open” 0 with the version with a slash.


Small caps:

replaces lowercase letters with uppercase letters at the optical height of the minuscules.


Historical letter forms:

replaces s with “long s”.


Style set 1:

replaces the normal figures from 1 to 20 with numbers in a circle.


Style set 2:

replaces the normal figures from 1 to 20 with negative numbers in a circle.


Style set 3:

replaces the “two-story” form of a with the “round” variant.


Style set 4:

replaces the “two-story” form of g with the “round” variant.


Style set 5:

replaces the “steep” shape of f with the more “sweeping” variant.


Style set 6:

replaces the “straight” shape of l with the “with foot” variant.


Style set 7:

replaces the “normal” form of r with the more playful variant with a period.


Style set 8:

replaces the u with a downstroke with the symmetrical round form.
