Sharp Sans Display No.2

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.

Waimea is a beach that has a little bit of everything so there is no way you'll get bored. Swimming, snorkeling, and surfing on small waves (or watching people surf on the big waves) are amongst the most popular pastimes. The best way to enjoy surfing at the bay is to and check out local competitions and events, such as the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational. Today, Waimea Bay is considered the birthplace of big wave surfing.

If there were only the beach, that would be enough. But Carmel Beach isn’t the only star of the petite Monterey County city. Rather, it’s an ensemble cast of charms that make Carmel-by-the-Sea such an enchanting destination. The community has long exerted a magnetic pull on artists and authors, including Mary Auston, Sinclair Lewis, and Jack London and that rich history of creativity has left its mark.

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.
