Faceplate Sans
PSY/OPS Type Foundry · RXC · 2001
A humanist sans-serif originally developed as a teaching model for type design workshops, released commercially in 2001 across five weights with matching obliques.
About
Designed by RXC for PSY/OPS as a demonstration piece for typeface development workshops, Faceplate Sans traces its lineage from pencil sketch to finished font. It is broadly neutral in character but carries a few distinguishing details: bowed-in diagonal strokes intended to conserve linear space, and a tri-oval double-storey g. The ten-cut family covers Western and Eastern European character sets and includes ligatures.
Classification
A humanist sans-serif with distinctive bowed-in diagonal strokes and a double-storey g, placing it firmly in the humanist sans tradition despite its relatively neutral overall character.
