Talisman specimen from Pangram Pangram Foundry

A hyper-minimalist humanist sans by Valerio Monopoli spanning five widths from Compressed to Normal, each in 18 styles with obliques and variable cuts.

About

Designed by Valerio Monopoli and updated in January 2024, Talisman stretches across five width subfamilies — Compressed, Condensed, Narrow, Compact and Normal — yielding 90 styles in total, each with 687 glyphs. Its structure is deliberately stripped back and casual, and the oblique cuts add rhythm across the range. Variable fonts are included with each subfamily, covering weight and width axes.

Classification

Tagged by the foundry as both Display and Humanist Sans; its stripped-down, casual structure with oblique variants and broad width range places it firmly in the humanist sans-serif tradition, styled for display use.
