Atelier Sans
Archive Foundry · Sam Powell · 2024
A geo-grotesque from Archive Foundry's Sam Powell that leans into playful glyph forms while retaining enough restraint for broad typographic use.
About
Released in October 2024, Atelier Sans runs across six weights from Light to Bold, balancing expressive details with the structural clarity expected of a grotesque. The foundry describes it as sitting between expressive and simpler forms, making it suited to a wide range of applications. Italic and monospaced variants are noted as in development, suggesting the family is still maturing.
Classification
The foundry classifies it as geo-grotesque, combining geometric construction with the informal irregularities of a grotesque, giving it a playful character distinct from pure geometric sans families.
