The original skeleton was hand-painted in 2008 to assist identify and inform my decisions moving forward. The typeface was completed soon afterwards at the behest of an old friend for their identity. As typical, I broadened it, but thought about retiring it since there were so lots of things comparable out there. Years later, I had a possibility to discover it and came to the conclusion that it could be improved, expanded in a logical and beneficial method, and introduced.
I would be lying if I didn't confess that the increase of webfonts and ingrained type in applications affected a number of the decisions I made about revamping Clear Sans. Totally brand-new Text and Screen font styles were developed that utitlize larger x-heights, space-saving widths, sensible (and streamlined) weight offerings ... to name a few modifications. Even the prices of each variation was thought about to produce a more reasonable and simple option for the designer, designer, professional and novice.
Clear Sans is a departure from my previous sans serifs, but the influences of Aaux Next, Akagi Pro and Halogen are evident.
