Clear Sans Text was created by Neil Summerour and released by Positype. Clear Sans Text includes 10 designs and family bundle choices. p > Clear Sans is a. wait for it ... rational geometric sans serif. It is planned to fill a specific niche ... to provide an alternative to the somewhat based-on-vernacular signs, somewhat geometric sans. I hear the word vernacular tossed around too much and too loosely. If a typeface is based in the vernacular, based upon hand-painted or hand-crafted signs, then it ought to be based on the movements of the hand, maintain that warmth and not on a quite geometric model. For me, tidy, geometric and accurate does not need to be cold and expressionless.

The original skeleton was hand-painted in 2008 to help figure out and notify my choices moving forward. The typeface was finished quickly afterwards at the wish of an old friend for their identity. As typical, I expanded it, but considered retiring it given that there were a lot of things similar out there. Years later on, I had a possibility to find it and concerned the conclusion that it could be enhanced, expanded in a logical and beneficial way, and introduced.

I would be lying if I didn't confess that the rise of webfonts and embedded type in applications affected a lot of the choices I made about revamping Clear Sans. Totally new Text and Screen typefaces were developed that utitlize bigger x-heights, space-saving widths, logical (and streamlined) weight offerings ... among others modifications. Even the prices of each variant was thought about to produce a more reasonable and basic option for the designer, designer, professional and novice.

Clear Sans is a departure from my previous sans serifs, however the impacts of Aaux Next, Akagi Pro and Halogen are evident.
