Designer: Rian
HughesDesigned to be a warm and flexible all-purpose contemporary sans in the custom of Univers and Helvetica, but preventing the calligraphic idiosyncrasies of the latter or the foregrounded optical corrections of the former.
Paralucent is offered in a vast array of weights from Thin to Heavy, in two widths each with italics.
There are two additions to the core 28-weight family: a three-weight stencil set, and a four weight text household. The text weights have actually been changed for use at small point sizes, and function more open character shapes, looser inter-letter
spacing for enhanced readability, and lining numerals for usage in listings and tables.
Several core ideas notify Paralucent's design. Prime attention has actually offered to the unfavorable space between characters, giving a more even "colour", specifically in text. For instance, the J, L and
T have shorter arms than equivalent sans typefaces. The A has a lower bar, opening up the interior counter. An unusually high lower-case x-height once again assists to provide a more even colour and improve legibility.
Care has actually been taken to rationalise repetitive aspects like the tails on lower-case letters, the Qand the "ear" of the g. Typographic design options that are consistent throughout all these features contribute to its stylistic cohesion.
