Second String specimen from Taylor Penton

A single-weight sans with clean geometry and a hint of nostalgia, aimed at branding and packaging work.

About

Released as a single Regular weight, Second String keeps its glyph set lean at 151 characters with basic Latin and a limited range of accented forms. The foundry positions it for branding, packaging and identity work where a quietly retro quality is wanted without overt period styling. At £25 with a flat commercial licence covering logos, web, print and broadcast, it sits at the accessible end of the independent type market.

Classification

The foundry describes clean forms and subtle nostalgia, suggesting a geometric or near-geometric sans with vintage inflection suited to branding and packaging.
