Nuacht Sans
A2-Type · 2018
A humanist sans designed as the caption and UI face within A2-Type's bespoke type system for the 2018 Irish Independent redesign.
About
Part of a four-subfamily system commissioned for the Irish Independent, Nuacht Sans sits alongside a calligraphic serif and condensed variants for sport and infographics. The family spans eight weights from Thin to Black, each with matching italics, giving editors a broad tonal range for captions, UI labels and secondary text. Its described industrial character sits in contrast to the warmth of the companion Nuacht Serif, creating clear typographic hierarchy across the printed page.
Classification
Described by A2-Type as a 'Humanistic' sans with an industrial character, designed to complement a calligraphic serif within a newspaper type system.
