The proportions of Charpentier Sans are directly derived from Roman capitals and the humanistic book-face. The contrast between strokes and thin strokes is based on medieval uncial script. And thus, a modern sans serif was created emphasizing thick and thin strokes together.

The tiny, pointed mini serifs contribute to the unmistakable appearance of the font. They create an exciting contrast to the soft flowing forms of the letters and are, to a great extent, conducive to the legibility. Consequently Charpentier Sans always appears with an extremely sharp and clear outline.

The font is intended to embody classic ideals as well as to meet modern demands.

Thanks to its traditional form language, Charpentier Sans is very legible, adapts to various forms of content and expresses a kind of calmness and certainty. Details resulting from writing with the quill guarantee that the font doesn’t appear too rough and unemotional.

Charpentier Sans Italique has an even more distinct ductus derived from writing. Especially the rounded forms from a, e, f, g and y reflect the handwritten humanistic cursive.

Charpentier Sans is comprised of many ligatures, including discretionary ligatures, plus medieval and capital figures as well as tabular figures.
Above and beyond the ”normal“ Latin typeface system, small caps are available as an especially elegant form of distinction.
