Latinotype · Francisco Galvez · 2001

About
Designed by Francisco Galvez, Elemental Sans Pro draws on calligraphic outlines to give its letterforms an organic warmth uncommon in purely geometric or grotesque sans-serifs. The family spans four weights from Light to Extrabold, each accompanied by an italic and small capitals, split across two subfamilies. The 2010 redesign brought OpenType refinements and a more polished italic, considerably strengthening the family's suitability for text use.
Classification
A humanist sans-serif with calligraphic influences, blending organic stroke modulation with upright letterforms. The hybrid calligraphic outlines place it firmly in the humanist sans tradition.
