Pais
Latinotype · Enrique Hernández · 2023
A contemporary grotesque from Enrique Hernández spanning nine weights with matching italics, offered in two versions: a neutral standard cut and a more expressive Alt with playful character variants.
About
Pais takes the early 20th-century grotesque as its starting point but widens the x-height and introduces a more geometric character, making it practical at small sizes and legible in extended text. The standard family suits editorial, branding and headline work, while Pais Alt introduces expressive alternates suited to logos, packaging and screen use. Together the 36 styles cover more than 200 Latin languages and basic Cyrillic across 682 glyphs.
Classification
A contemporary grotesque sans-serif drawing on early 20th-century grotesque conventions but with a wider x-height and more geometric construction. The Alt subfamily introduces expressive, playful character variants while retaining the grotesque framework.
