About
Designed by Jorge Cisterna and released in 2016, Cover Sans pairs geometric construction with humanist character to produce a stable, legible condensed face suited to magazine layouts, annual reports and logotypes. Its low x-height and open letterforms give a sense of airiness unusual for a condensed design. Alternative characters add a modern, individual quality that distinguishes it from more generic condensed grotesques.
Classification
