Publisher: Insigne DesignWith the increase of webfonts I started to see Le Havre being used frequently online. It's short x-height and extremely high ascenders made it hard to read in on screen text settings as it was intended as screen type. With this observation, I felt that there is more room for a geometric sans in the insigne brochure. So I commence to create a new geometric sans using the successful skeleton of the Le Havre family.
Although I planned to extend the Le Havre line, the brand-new family is so considerably different I picked a brand-new name: Savigny. The face evolved and began to take on a few humanist touches. Created from the very beginning as a webfont, the design is open and pleasing to the eye, with a tall x-height. To optimize it for onscreen settings, the spacing is generous. In addition, it includes extended and condensed members, making it insigne's first superfamily.
The family includes over 100 OpenType alternate characters. These consist of numerous style sets. Some are stemless, others are simply geometric, and in a nod to Savigny's origins, Art Deco entitling alternates. Please see the informative.pdf sales brochure to see these functions in action.
