Popular Parachute fonts.
Beau Sans is a meticulously crafted sans serif family defined by soft, humanistic details and a clear, inviting texture on the page. Its generous x-height and simplified forms make it exceptionally readable in long passages of text, while its refined geometry gives it a calm, confident presence in display settings. Since its original release, Beau Sans has become a signature Parachute design—one widely adopted by major international brands across sectors ranging from corporate identity and advertising to packaging and large-scale communication systems.
Venue is inspired by the sleek, geometric elegance of Art Deco, featuring bold monostroke forms and a generous x-height. Its two families, with alternate letterforms, create unique textures, while the interplay of narrow and wide shapes gives it a striking, eye-catching personality. Perfect for posters, ads, book covers, and avant-garde fashion editorials, Venue supports Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts, offering endless creative possibilities across its full collection of families and alternates.
With subtle round details like gently curved-in edges, Encore Sans achieves a modern look while nodding to traditional typographic forms, creating a harmonious blend of classic and contemporary design. This thoughtful balance ensures versatility across a wide range of uses, from print to digital media. Extreme weights are crafted with precision: the elegant hairline maintains even colour and readability, while the boldest ultra-black retains clarity and impact despite its intensity. Its refined design earned a Silver Award from the European Design Awards.
DIN Mono is one of the several additions to the DIN superfamilies by Parachute. It is a monospace typeface which is comprised of characters with fixed width. In the world of proportionality, DIN Mono stands out as a fresh new alternative to the popular standard, particularly for publishing and branding applications. Additional care was given to the aesthetic form and its pleasing characteristics. The spacing attributes of the glyphs were redefined and legibility was further improved by revising or changing the shape of the letterforms. The family consists of 12 weights including true-italics. A multilingual version is also available with Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.
Handbook is designed to address the visual needs of an ever-demanding corporate environment in a straightforward manner. With slightly rounded outer corners and a robust, totally unpretentious yet notably recognisable character, this design aims to be a real workhorse and an honest business asset. Handbook is an exquisitely well balanced and versatile typeface that works extremely well in body text and headlines within a long range of point sizes. Powered with the bare essential visual assets, Handbook’s vigorous personality is carefully engineered to avoid time consuming and inefficient design workload.
This is the first ever release of a true serif companion for the popular DIN typeface.It is simple and neutral enough when set at small sizes, but sturdy and powerful when set at heavier weights and bigger sizes. DIN Serif makes no attempt to impress with ephemeral nifty details on individual letters, but instead it concentrates on a few modern, functional and everlasting novelties which express an overall distinct quality on the page and set it apart from most classic romans.
