#Alan Sans

Alan Sans is an exercise in style, balancing the utilitarian side of typography with its expressive potential. We wanted a typeface that could remain functional in an interface context for instance, while also standing out more vividly on marketing applications. The result is a playful sans-serif, built on a traditional “grotesque” skeleton, but reinterpreted with a softer, more flexible visual treatment. This tension between simplicity and expressiveness is also reflected in the weight progression of Alan Sans’s seven styles: the bolder you go, the more personality the typeface reveals. In short, Alan Sans is a reflection of our brand’s dual nature. It aims to be robust yet gentle, serious yet personable, simple yet sophisticated, transparent yet noticeable. It’s our “not so corporate” corporate typeface.
