Fontshare · Hugo Dumont · 2021
A six-weight humanist sans by Hugo Dumont, with visible stroke contrast, diagonal terminals and double-storey 'a' and 'g' across all weights.
About
Designed by Paris-based Hugo Dumont and released via Fontshare in 2021, Synonym sits apart from purely monolinear humanist sans serifs through its moderate stroke contrast and the diagonal cuts on the arms of letters such as 'E', 'F' and 'T'. The family runs from Extralight to Bold with a variable font included, and covers 135 languages across an extended Latin range. It suits editorial and branding work where legibility and a degree of personality are both required.
Classification
Described explicitly as humanist sans serif, with stroke contrast, diagonal terminals and double-storey letterforms that distinguish it from monolinear grotesques.
