Kindersley Sans is a humanist sans-serif that conserves the Gill-inspired character and a few of the calligraphic qualities of Kindersley's lettering, it maintains the Roman percentages and its Britishness, but standard prettiness and intricacy are discarded in favour of a clean modernity. For functions where Transportation (MOT) is thought about too official and Kindersley too old-fashioned, Kindersley Sans uses an open and pleasant up-to-date alternative.
The typeface is easily spaced and thoroughly kerned to provide lovely results with ease, and although designed with nameplates in mind, it stands out as an all-purpose text face in print and on screen.
The tail of the uppercase Q has very little descent to avoid constriction.
Kindersley Sans includes a lowercase developed for signage with short descenders to avoid unattractive congestion. A generous x-height assists legibility, and characters are created for easy reading and diversity. The curved foot of the lowercase L distinguishes it from the uppercase i.
The six fonts contain a full enhance of Latin Extended-A characters, Welsh diacritics and Irish dotted consonants, so European language nameplates require not give frustration. The climb and descent of accented characters has been kept to an acceptable minimum.
