The two coordinated typefaces together form a harmonious font family for all areas of application.
 
»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.

»Faber Serif« is the Antiqua variant. The proportions are almost identical to those of »Faber Sans«. The serifs of Faber Serif are comparatively strong, but very short. The alternating stroke that is usually so characteristic of Antiqua fonts is not very pronounced. This puts it close to the very first Antiquas from the 15th century.
 
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:

Historical letter forms:
