TypeMates · Nils Thomsen · 2017
A high-contrast display serif by Nils Thomsen with triangular spiky serifs and deep ink traps, built as a companion to Pensum Pro for headline and poster use.
About
Distilled from the text-focused Pensum Pro, Pensum Display pushes contrast and detail to their extremes, with triangular serifs, tighter spacing and pronounced ink traps that reward large setting. Nine weights run from an extremely light Thin through to a striking Black, each with a matching italic that adds curvature and depth. Over 800 glyphs cover a wide range of Latin languages, with small caps designed wider than the capitals and punctuation variants for case-sensitive and small-cap composition.
Classification
