Sharp Sans Display No.1

The Sharp Sans Collection comprises four related families created for editorial design that began as a pair of display fonts inspired by Herb Lubalin’s iconic Avante Garde; Sharp Sans Display No.1 and No.2 then attracted Hillary Clinton’s creative team in 2016, which necessitated an expansion of the family that was designed within the unique environment of a modern presidential campaign, giving birth to Sharp Sans Standard and Slab to complete the family. The Sharp Sans Collection has been optically designed for comprehensive editorial situations requiring complex typographic hierarchy, and was developed and rigorously tested during a key turning point in the era of digital communications. Sharp Sans adapts to a wide range of moods but stays centered on geometric neutrality, communicating both clarity and familiarity. The Sharp Sans superfamily was designed to fulfill every possible typographic need on the campaign trail: headlines and banners, readable text in both digital and printed contexts, websites and social media platforms, and everything in between. These wide-ranging needs utilized daily over the course of a modern presidential campaign have ensured the relevance of Sharp Sans in our contemporary world, where adaptability and timelessness have become fundamental requirements of digital type design.

The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth’s atmosphere (though it is so tenuous that some scientists consider it to be part of interplanetary space rather than part of the atmosphere).

A winter storm is an event in which wind coincides with varieties of precipitation that only occur at freezing temperatures, such as snow, mixed snow and rain, or freezing rain. In temperate continental climates, these storms are not necessarily restricted to the winter season, but may occur in the late autumn and early spring as well. A snowstorm with strong winds and other conditions meeting certain criteria is called a blizzard.

A pyroclastic flow is a hot (typically >800 °C, or >1,500 °F ), chaotic mixture of rock fragments, gas, and ash that travels rapidly (tens of meters per second) away from a volcanic vent or collapsing flow front. Pyroclastic flows can be extremely destructive and deadly because of their high temperature and mobility. In scientific literature, it is sometimes abbreviated to PDC (pyroclastic density current).

When the wind pushes air towards a hill, it is forced upwards, as it cannot go inside the hill. When it reaches the top of the hill it cools down (as the air higher up in the atmosphere is colder), and if it has enough moisture, the water vapour (gas) will condense into water (a liquid) form a cloud and eventually fall as raindrops.This is why we tend to see more rain on the hills than anywhere else.

While Sharp Sans Display No.1 ends its round monolines with diagonally sheared terminals, Sharp Sans Display No.2 shears those terminals on a 90° angle. This small distinction allowed us to create two unique but interconnected font families. Designed for ultimate utility, Sharp Sans is our use-it-for-everything font. The last addition to the collection is Sharp Slab, the Egyptian-slab serif companion to Sharp Sans.
