With the increase of webfonts I began to see Le Havre being utilized often online. It's brief x-height and extremely high ascenders made it difficult to check out in on screen text settings as it was meant as screen type. With this observation, I felt that there is more space for a geometric sans in the insigne catalog. So I set about to design a new geometric sans utilizing the effective skeleton of the Le Havre family.
Although I planned to extend the Le Havre line, the new household is so drastically various I selected a brand-new name: Savigny. The face evolved and started to take on a couple of humanist touches. Created from the extremely starting as a webfont, the style is open and pleasing to the eye, with a high x-height. To optimize it for onscreen settings, the spacing is generous. In addition, it consists of extended and condensed members, making it insigne's very first superfamily.
The family includes over 100 OpenType alternate characters. These consist of a number of style sets. Some are stemless, others are purely geometric, and in a nod to Savigny's origins, Art Deco titling alternates. Please see the informative.pdf sales brochure to see these functions in action.
