About
Designed by Luciano Vergara and Alfonso García and released in 2019, Moderna Sans spans condensed, standard and extended widths, each with five weights and matching italics – 30 styles in total. The design draws on the American Gothic tradition, particularly Alternate Gothic, giving it the tight spacing and vertical economy associated with newspaper and magazine headline setting. Its broad language coverage makes it a practical choice for multilingual branding and corporate work.
