I can see the family resemblance! :-)

This is looking pretty solid already. The caps especially are actually really good; this is a font that should have smallcaps. The "m" and "C" are a bit wide. The bar of the "K" stands out a bit too much. The "Q" has too much serif in it. I'd make the "T" a bit narrower. The bottom of the "U" is malformed.

For 10 point, it's pretty light, and a bit loose. In fact I think it would be useful to match the serif in color and fit. If we assume the serif to have stabilized, the sans should be a bit tighter and slightly darker.

I predict this sister-and-brother team is gonna be famous, in
a starlet kinda way I mean, not like the Osmonds or anything. :-)

Here is a revised version of Omnium Sans. I’ve added the italic and small caps.

Along with some minor changes to the character shapes, I’ve increased the weight of the roman slightly and tightened it up considerably. I’ve had a lot of trouble with spacing the roman: in trying to match the serif in colour. Any suggestions?

I haven’t touched the kerning pairs yet.

I'd love to hear your observations / criticisms.

Cheers,

Dan

Could you put the previous PDF back online?
This new vesion looks very good, but I would like to be able to compare it to the previous one.

My apologies.

The previous PDF is now back online. I have updated the original link as well.

Cheers, Dan

I have recut omnium sans.

I have further simplified the curves and terminals and have removed most of the flaring from the stems, so that it better matches its serif counterpart. I see this sanserif as a secondary typeface for the serif, so I don’t want it to compete for attention.

I have also simplified the s, which I felt was disturbing the peace before.

Oh, and I’ve loosened up the spacing some.

I appreciate any feedback you can provide.

Thanks very much,

Dan
