Darwin
Latinotype · Mendoza Vergara · 2014
A 20-style sans-serif family from Mendoza Vergara that blends grotesque, geometric and humanist influences, with an Alt subfamily offering alternate letterforms for more expressive use.
About
Released in 2014, Darwin spans five weights with matching italics across two subfamilies. The Normal variant handles headlines, posters and logos in a workmanlike manner, while the Alt subfamily introduces alternate glyphs that add character to compositions. The mix of influences keeps the family from sitting squarely in any single sans-serif tradition.
Classification
An eclectic sans-serif blending grotesque, geometric and humanist influences into a single family. The Alt subfamily introduces alternate letterforms that push the design toward more distinctive display territory.
