Antartida Essential
Latinotype · Luciano Vergara · 2012

A four-style essential cut of Antartida, offering Light and Bold weights with matching italics from Chilean designer Luciano Vergara.
About
Released in 2012 under the Los Andes imprint distributed through Latinotype, Antartida Essential distils the Antartida family down to two weights and their italics. The essential format is aimed at designers who need a clean, workable sans without licensing an entire extended family. At four styles it covers the most common typographic pairings without excess.
Classification
The specimen text and naming suggest a clean, functional sans-serif in the humanist tradition, offered in a minimal two-weight-plus-italic essential cut rather than a full extended family.
