Shop Sans

sans-serifgrotesquecondensed

A grotesque designed specifically for setting text on circles and curved paths, with a variable 'Curve' font that adjusts letterform details to suit bending type at different radii.

About

Shop Sans draws on 20th-century commercial and industrial lettering, aiming for a blunt, plainspoken quality that stops short of sterility. Six width variants span Condensed through X Wide, each suited to different path curvatures. The Curve variable font allows fine-grained control over optical compensation as type bends around a given radius.

Classification
