Informa Font

Designer: Patrick Griffin
Publisher: Canada Type

Informa was developed by Patrick Griffin and published by Canada Type. Informa contains 36 designs and family package choices. p > Informa is a comprehensive sans serif text family based upon standard lettering on the other hand, proportion, rhythm and stroke. In specific its proportions were based upon a 1978 acclaimed flare-serif film type called Signa, by Swiss style trio Group 77.

Informa strikes the visual balance between machine and male rarely reached by other, commonly utilized humanist faces. While some faces categorized as such exhibit too much calligraphy (like Gill Sans, Syntax and Optima), and others tend to prefer geometric concepts in rhythm and percentage (like Program, Frutiger and Variety), Informa stays real to the humanist ideology by preserving the correct equilibrium in between the two impacts that drive the category, and keeping the humanistic qualities where they make better visual sense. This balance makes it more well suited for combining with old style and transitional faces than the majority of sans serifs out there. It is a comfortable, gentle read that satisfies the needs of both extended text composition and helpful, welcoming display typography.

Informa's variety of styles and features seat it among the very best options for corporate interaction and international publishing or marketing campaigns. Its weights vary from Light to Vibrant, with accompanying italics and condensed widths, amounting to twelve thorough Pro typefaces, or thirty-six non-Pro fonts (consisting of little cap and expert fonts for each style). Informa Pro's extended character set covers all 3 European scripts (Latin, Cyrillic and Greek), consisting of small caps throughout the board, 7 sets of figures, and specialist features consisting of alternates and ligatures, totaling more than 900 characters per font.
