Polyguard
W Type Foundry · Carlos Ávila
A wide, industrial-flavoured display sans in six weights with matching obliques, built for headline and branding use.
About
Designed by Carlos Ávila, Polyguard pairs slightly expanded proportions with vertical stroke endings and widened terminals to create a sans that reads as structured but not mechanical. Six weights from Thin to Black each carry a matching oblique, giving twelve styles in total. Suited to packaging, signage and editorial work where presence at large sizes matters more than refinement at small ones.
Classification
Described explicitly as display-driven, with slightly wide proportions, vertical stroke endings and expanded terminals designed for high-impact headline and branding use rather than sustained text setting.
