About Safran Font Family


Besides all the display and script typefaces I design, my real passion is to design typefaces for copy. Safran is the first of my sans serif workhorse families available from Myfonts. Starting from a light version there are nine weights up to the strong ultrabold. All with italics. What was the inspiration for designing the font? I wanted to create a clear and elegant typeface with a wide variety of weights and proportions that are easy to use in corporate branding and magazines. What are its main characteristics and features? contemporary humanist legible sans serif Usage recommendations: corporate branding, magazines and other publications Elegant, clear and very legible.
