Confer Sans
A humanist sans in 16 styles that takes angular, uncorrected stroke endings from the broad-nib pen as its defining formal feature.
About
Rather than smoothing terminals to meet a geometric programme, Confer Sans lets stroke endings remain angular in the manner of a broad-nib marker, giving it a candid warmth that sets it apart from neogrotesk neutrality. Eight weights from Thin to Black each come with an italic, and each style carries close to 700 glyphs including ten or more figure sets, boxed and circled numbers and arrows, and support for 100+ languages. The foundry positions it for cultural, educational and branding work where anonymous authority would be the wrong register.
Classification
Identity Letters explicitly describe Confer Sans as a humanist sans, drawing on the broad-nib pen or marker for angular stroke endings rather than the neutralised terminals of neogrotesk designs.
