About
Designed by Henrique Beier and released in April 2014, Densia Sans prioritises economy of space without sacrificing legibility, making it well suited to interfaces, captions and other situations where horizontal room is at a premium. Its OpenType feature set is notably thorough for a free font, including small caps, case-sensitive forms, proportional and tabular figures, superscripts, subscripts and fractions.
Classification
A narrow, economic sans serif with a tall x-height designed for space-constrained settings. Its proportions place it firmly in the grotesque tradition, prioritising legibility at compact sizes.
