CPH Tram Sans
A modernised, seven-weight sans cut derived from A2-Type's original CPH Tram, trading old-style character for a cleaner, contemporary feel.
About
Where the original CPH Tram drew on 1920s lettering conventions, CPH Tram Sans strips that ornamentation away in favour of a leaner, more contemporary form suited to current design work. Seven weights run from Light to Black with no italics, covering the range expected of a workhorse display and text sans. The family suits branding, editorial and wayfinding contexts where a clean, upright sans is preferable to anything with historical warmth.
Classification
A clean, contemporary sans described as modern and streamlined, positioned as a 2020s counterpart to the old-style CPH Tram; lacks the ornamental qualities of its predecessor, pointing to a geometric or neo-grotesque construction.
