A slightly extended Swiss-inspired sans serif designed by Selina Bernet, spanning five weights with italics and a companion monospaced family, drawing on a 1960s Armin Hofmann-era poster for its original graphic spark.
About
Chroma takes its initial cue from an Osram lightbulb poster found in Armin Hofmann's 1965 Graphic Design Manual, translating that mid-century Swiss graphic sensibility into a contemporary extended sans. Five weights run from Light to Black, each with a matching italic, and a four-weight Mono subfamily extends its utility into technical and screen contexts. The family covers display use at heavier weights through to readable text settings at lighter grades.
Classification
A slightly extended Swiss sans with full curves and a strong graphic stance, sparked by a 1960s Osram poster in Armin Hofmann's Graphic Design Manual.
