sans-serifhumanist sanscondenseditalic
Salva specimen from Fabio Haag Type

A humanist sans-serif developed from a discarded corporate brief, offering nine weights across regular and condensed widths with italics and broad Latin language support.

About

Salva emerged when Fabio Haag Type salvaged raw material from an unreleased client concept, stripping back technological rigidity in favour of calligraphic warmth. Stroke contrast increases at the junction of curves and stems, the lowercase 'e' carries a slanted bar, and the double-storey 'g' takes an unconventional form. The family supports 209 Latin-script languages and includes proportional and tabular figures, fractions, ordinals and two stylistic sets.

Classification

Salva displays humanist characteristics throughout: contrast modulation increases where curves meet stems, the bar of the lowercase 'e' is slanted in calligraphic tradition, and the double-storey 'g' departs from convention. These details point clearly to a humanist sans classification.
