Office Type Sans specimen from ParaType

A 1995 humanist sans by Dmitry Gulinov for TypeMarket, derived from Bigelow and Holmes's Lucida and offered in four styles.

About

Designed at TypeMarket in 1995, Office Type Sans takes Lucida (1985) as its starting point, inheriting that family's open apertures and moderate stroke contrast. The family is compact at four styles: Normal, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic. It is positioned for corporate and text-setting use.

Classification

The specimen shows open, humanist letterforms with moderate stroke contrast and softly rounded terminals, consistent with the Lucida lineage on which this typeface is based. The 'a' and 'g' are single-storey in appearance, reinforcing a humanist classification.
