Sans Merci specimen from Smeltery

A sharp-edged display sans by Jack Usine with a pulpy, high-contrast character suited to bold editorial work.

About

Designed by Jack Usine and released in 2006, Sans Merci positions itself as a typeface with bite, described by the foundry as both pulpy and spicy. The family ships in four styles, giving enough range for varied typographic treatments. Its temperament makes it better suited to headlines and campaign work than extended text setting.

Classification

Described as pulpy and spicy with an incisive character, Sans Merci is positioned as a display-oriented sans with a strong personality rather than a neutral workhorse.
