Magallanes specimen from Latinotype

A neo-humanist sans-serif by Daniel Hernández, built across eight weights with true italics and calligraphic terminals suited to titling use in editorial and identity work.

About

Magallanes takes its stroke modulation and terminal forms from the calligraphic humanist tradition, giving it warmth unusual in a clean sans-serif. With eight weights from UltraLight to Black, each accompanied by a true italic, the family covers a broad tonal range. Alternative glyphs in every weight add flexibility for dynamic typographic treatments in magazines and logotypes.

Classification

Neo-humanist sans-serif with calligraphic stroke modulation and terminals that reference the humanist tradition. Designed primarily as a titling face, it bridges the gap between calligraphic warmth and clean sans-serif construction.
