Levnam specimen from ParaType

A wide-proportioned sans-serif from Manvel Shmavonyan, engineered for legibility at small sizes while remaining serviceable for display use.

About

Levnam draws on the same design logic as Bell Centennial and Verdana: wide proportions, slightly thickened terminals and generous sidebearings that preserve clarity at very small sizes. Despite this screen-optimised construction, the family holds up well at headline sizes. Ten styles span five weights from Light to Black, each with a matching italic.

Classification

A wide-proportioned sans-serif with slightly thickened terminals and generous sidebearings, optimised for legibility at small sizes in the manner of Bell Centennial and Verdana, placing it in the humanist sans tradition.
