Ulrich Sans
Trulytype · 2018
A single-weight glyphic display typeface that mixes incised serif forms with sans-serif structure, conceived in reference to curator Hans Ulrich Obrist.
About
Released in 2018, Ulrich Sans draws on the glyphic tradition, where letterforms carry the trace of a chisel or incised stroke rather than a drawn pen, whilst shedding conventional serifs for a stripped silhouette. A thoughtful set of alternates extends its usefulness for headline compositions and expressive typesetting. At one weight with broad Latin Extended language support, it suits art-world publishing, cultural institutions and editorial contexts where a slightly unconventional display voice is wanted.
Classification
The foundry categorises it as Display and Sans Serif; its blend of classical glyphic seriffed strokes with otherwise sans-serif structure places it firmly in the glyphic display camp, designed for headlines rather than extended text.
