The original skeleton was hand-painted in 2008 to assist figure out and notify my decisions moving forward. The typeface was completed soon afterwards at the behest of an old pal for their identity. As typical, I expanded it, but thought about retiring it given that there were so many things comparable out there. Years later on, I had a possibility to discover it and came to the conclusion that it might be enhanced, expanded in a sensible and useful method, and introduced.
I would be lying if I didn't admit that the increase of webfonts and ingrained enter applications affected a number of the choices I made about reworking Clear Sans. Completely brand-new Text and Screen font styles were established that utitlize bigger x-heights, space-saving widths, rational (and streamlined) weight offerings ... to name a few changes. Even the rates of each variant was thought about to produce a more affordable and basic option for the developer, designer, expert and novice.
Clear Sans is a departure from my previous sans serifs, however the influences of Aaux Next, Akagi Pro and Halogen are evident.
