Davis Sans was developed by Patrick Griffin and published by Canada Type. Davis Sans includes 8 styles and household plan options. p > Over the previous couple of years, the numerous applications that signed up with print as media requiring design options have actually combined to demand a visual development that favours regulated optical geometry and cautious counter-space factor to consider over decorative features traditionally connected with print design. This is now real in business, advertising and user interface design, and is even spilling over into editorial designs. Such concentrate on clarity and accuracy in contemporary style environments have brought to light the many problems that riddle traditional print faces, and increased the call for brand-new solutions. The renewed type style market reacted to the demand, often with original takes that build on the classics, and sometimes with merely subtle differences from the old aesthetics.

The Davis Sans household, though in its own right an excellent modern typeface that works quite well in standard environments, was conceived and produced to be one half of a set of counterparts - a piece and a sans - that satisfy the multiple layers of corporate and marketing jobs, from identity and editorial to the many levels of item branding.

Davis and Davis Sans come in 4 weights with matching real italics, amounting to eight typefaces per household. Each typeface includes over 400 glyphs, with extended Latin language support, stylistic alternates, and class-based kerning.

This task was inspired in part by our desire to send out a number of really promising design students to a postgraduate MA program in typeface style, the costs of which continue to be increasingly excessive for the huge bulk of design graduates. With that in mind, we have made Davis and Davis Sans families readily available at token pricing for style experts and students alike, and the totality of Canada Type's profits from these faces will be contributed to those graduates seeking their college.
