Fashion-y Sans?

VersuS0 votes

Looking for a nice, editorial Sans for a fashion project. Any suggestions? Thanks!

This is funny; I'm looking for sans face I'd say falls in the same broad category (see earlier post "Pre-War Sans"), but your request is perhaps broader.

My list for this would probably be:

Underground Pro
Relay
Verlag
Gotham
Encore Sans
Proxima Sans/Nova
Avenir
Futura
Avant Garde
Fedra Sans
Neue Haas Grotesk

Oh, and Nobel Sans (Font Bureau) is also quite Fashion-y.

Great suggestions. Really love Encore.

What do you think of Parisine? I'm looking for something that goes well with a modern serif face like Modern 216...

I think it's absolutely beautiful. Should pair nicely.

Reminds me of Freight Sans, which I also have an enduring fondness for, and which also pairs beautifully with contrasty serifs (like the other end of the superfamily, no doubt).

...and Encore is something special, but I do find all the Parachute faces to be rather pricey, though most of them have so many international features they're quite justified...still, 800,00€ always makes me wince a bit.

Freight is a nice one too. Decisions decisions...

Thanks again for your help!

Text or display?

Display:

frode, there are lowercase letters to noir now? where can we see a sample!

Can’t you wait till I finish this sucker in year 2020?

Thoughts on Verlag and Scotch Modern together?

I was set on Parisine and Scotch Modern but I fear I could go on for days with this (months, years)

I second the SangBleu recommendation, I've always liked Chalet as well (just haven't found a place to use it yet).

Giorgio Sans is also a great display face, it was designed for T, the New York Times style magazine.

How about some naked power?

How about my Franklin Gothic? I made it originally for British Vogue, and after I finished it, they decided to go with American Typewriter. Bastards…

where it's doing pretty well. My regards to British Vogue.

Tee Franklin is great... Has it been used in any other publications?

Thanks for all the suggestions!
