Salvo Sans
Occupant Fonts · Cyrus Highsmith · 2011
Designed by Cyrus Highsmith for editorial use, this five-weight, three-width sans was built to unify multiple magazines under a single typographic system.
About
Commissioned to bring typographic coherence to three separate magazines, it spans five weights from Light to Black across standard, Condensed and Extra Condensed widths, each with matching italics. The thirty-style family is positioned for headlines, pull quotes and short text settings, with a broad Latin Extended character set supporting a wide range of Western and Central European languages. The design carries an upbeat energy suited to fast-paced editorial environments without sacrificing legibility at smaller sizes.
Classification
Described as energetic and optimistic with a broad width range and italics, characteristics typical of humanist sans-serif design intended for editorial and text use across varied sizes.
