Domaine Sans Display specimen from Klim Type Foundry

A high-contrast display sans by Kris Sowersby that explores contrast in sanserifs, made for fashion and editorial display.

About

A high-contrast display sans by Kris Sowersby, sitting at the largest size in the Domaine Sans system. Sixteen styles run from Thin to Black with matching italics, with swashes and old-style or lining numerals available through OpenType. Klim describe Domaine Sans as an exploration of an unpopular genre, sans serifs with contrast, and at display sizes the stress and modulation read clearly, which is why fashion and editorial brands such as Vanity Fair's Hollywood issue have reached for it.

Classification

Klim classifies it as Lineal: Grotesque, High Contrast; the display cut of Domaine Sans, an exploration of contrast in sans serifs alongside Domaine's earlier work in the Latin serif genre.
