New Release — Merwede Sans!
Merwede Sans is a continuation of the thorough and thoughtful design ideas Titus Schulz incorporated into Merwede, a family especially designed for elegant book typography and musical notation.
While the humanist sans can be used in its own right or in combination with other typefaces, it shares many characteristics with its serif sibling, including proportions, shapes, and the distinctive structure of true italics. The italic capitals are one degree less sloped than the lowercase so they don’t appear to lean against them. Light and Extra Bold, which are two additional weights in comparison to Merwede, make it a versatile set for distinguished text typography. Merwede Sans Firm is slightly heavier than Merwede Sans Regular and shines where either a more pithy impression is needed or a fine granularity between weights, like in reversed-out text. All weights share the same set-width, so they won’t cause any reflow of text when the weights are changed.
An extensive set of OpenType features rounds out the character-set: ligatures, various sets of numerals, arrows, and — less commonly included in text typefaces — musical chord symbols.
To celebrate the release of Merwede Sans, all styles are available with a 30% discount until 3 August 2026.
