Emigre · Zuzana Licko · 2009
Zuzana Licko's 2009 sans-serif companion to Mrs Eaves, offered in two subfamilies — Sans and Modern — each spanning six weights with italics.
About
Mr Eaves Sans & Modern extends the Mrs Eaves family into sans-serif territory, drawing on the same Baskerville-derived proportions that define its serif counterpart. The Sans subfamily takes a clean, unmodulated approach, while Modern introduces greater stroke contrast for a more refined texture. Both share six weights from Thin to Heavy, each with a corresponding italic.
Classification
A sans-serif companion to Mrs Eaves, deriving its proportions and humanist character from Baskerville. The Sans subfamiliy strips serifs entirely while Modern retains a more refined contrast, both sharing the warm, readable qualities of their serif parent.
