О проекте | About the project
Private Sans — это динамичный гуманистический гротеск, основанный на каллиграфии.
Название шрифта «Private Sans» связано с тем, что в мемуарах, автобиографиях, в интервью и поэзии автор как бы ненадолго впускает читателя в свой мир, в свое личное пространство. Прообразом шрифта послужил аккуратный убористый почерк.
Private Sans, визуально легкий и воздушный, предназначен для текстов, где повествование ведется от первого лица. Он помнит свои рукописные корни, поэтому обладает живым характером и особенно подвижной кириллицей. Может использоваться в наборе мемуаров, автобиографий, интервью и поэзии, в произведениях, которые посвящены мыслям, переживаниям и личным чувствам авторов. Private Sans — это шрифт для эмоциональных воспоминаний и разговоров по душам.
Private Sans is a dynamic humanist sans, derived from calligraphy. Poets and authors in their memoirs, autobiographies let the reader into their world, prompt to explore their ’private’ personal space. Hence the name of Private Sans. Neat handwriting served as a prototype for the typeface. Private Sans, visually light and airy, is suitable for first-person narrative texts that focus on thoughts, personal experiences and feelings of the authors. As a tribute to its manuscript roots the design features are lively and fluid, especially in Cyrillic script. Private Sans is a font for emotional memories and free-hearted talks.
