Geometric, stylish, and not quite a stencil face: Glance Sans is the urban alter ego of Glance Slab—a strong-willed sans-serif with no frills but a few unique character traits.

Glance Sans follows the design principle of nonjoining parts that made Glance Slab successful. Some strokes may not connect to their stems, creating visible gaps and thus, a dynamic impression of balance and movement. However, Glance Sans has a calmer appearance due to the lack of detached serifs. If Glance Slab’s home territory are large, crowded stadiums and massive sports events, Glance Sans prefers streetball courts, well-used skate parks, and underground clubs. It also adapts to urban work environments from finance to high-tech. Whenever a more toned-down look is called for while retaining the elegance of an athlete, Glance Sans is ready to roll.

In the city environment, versatility is key. That’s why Glance Sans sports 7 weights as well as a complete set of italics. These are not just sloped romans but individually drawn letterforms, subtly referencing classic italic construction for more effective emphasis. Among the 600+ glyphs of Glance Sans, you’ll find goodies such as six sets of figures, circled numbers, circled arrows, and all kinds of currency symbols in two stylistic versions. Glance Sans is a great tool for industrial and high-tech branding, for wayfinding systems in contemporary or modernist architecture, for corporate identities in arts, crafts, medicine, culture, and education, and for all kinds of sports-themed design.

Both members of the Glance superfamily are easily and effectively combinable; both are able to stand on their own feet. With its powerful italics, you might opt for Glance Sans as your text typeface and use Glance Slab for headlines. Or you set large, clean, display-sized lines in Glance Sans and spice them up with a bit of sportive Glance Slab. It’s up to you to decide how to bring out the best in both of them.

Meet Leifa, a confident, timeless and elegant Flare Serif. 

Leifa is a versatile companion, perfectly usable for a variety of applications. But especially the areas of branding and editorial design are Leifa's preferred playground. There in particular, the typeface impresses with its look and feel, making the design pleasant and smooth. Take a look at the wonderful lowercase letter /f, or the spiky spurs of the other lowercase letters. That's where the fun begins. 

Its flattened serifs and sharp spurs are restrained and almost inconspicuous in copy text, but in display sizes they unfold their potential and provide an organic and humanistic touch.

Designed by Moritz Kleinsorge, Leifa consists of eight weights from Thin to Black with matching italics. Each style has a character set of about 615 glyphs. Four stylistic sets allow an alternative Leifas appearance, there is an option for a single-story /a (ss01), simple /f (ss02), triple-story /g (ss03) and thin punctuation marks (ss04). You will also find a set of ligatures, tabular figures and symbols, case-sensitive forms, fractions and many other features in this beautiful typeface.
