Google Fonts · Black[Foundry] · 2018
A refined humanist sans with subtle quirks, designed for the French research institute INRIA.
About
Inria Sans carries a distinctive intellectual warmth that makes it well-suited to academic publishing, cultural institutions, and editorial contexts requiring a sans with more personality than a neutral grotesque. Its Light, Regular, and Bold weights cover essential needs for body and heading use, though the family is compact. Paired with its companion Inria Serif, it forms a coherent and characterful typographic system.
Classification
Inria Sans is a refined humanist sans-serif with slightly quirky details and a warm, intellectual character born from the visual identity work of the French research institute INRIA. Its letterforms have a subtle calligraphic underpinning that distinguishes it from more neutral grotesques.
