Franca Font Family Free Download

About Franca Font Family Franca is a neo-grotesk family in nine weights plus matching italics, The inspiration for the design came through the constant interest in new interpretations of the classic grotesk model and a study of “neutral“ typefaces like Helvetica, Univers or Normal Grotesk, During the studies, additional attention was given to the American representatives of the genre, resulting in the initial impetus for a reinterpretation, combining both paths into one contemporary design

This is reflected in the name, blending together the names of the most popular typefaces of each genres, (Fran)klin and Helveti(ca), Due to its large x-height and plain design, the family is perfectly suited for all kinds of text, Its mid-weights are optimized for usage in long paragraphs, while the bolder weights, due to a short descender and ascender, create a compact and confident look in headlines or short copy

In order to create strong and dynamic italics, the oblique glyph shapes come with a faint calligraphic hint, defined by a higher stroke contrast and a steeper connection between stems and arcs in, for example, h n m and u, This is followed by different standard shapes for a and y, supporting the dynamic movement of the lowercase in general

A wide range of OpenType features such as ligatures, old style figures, fractions, case-sensitive shapes and many more, are available for professional and contemporary typesetting, This is completed with eleven alternative glyph sets, enabling a quick customization of the typeface

The family supports up to 92 languages and comes with 500+ glyphs per font, Designers: René BiederPublisher: Rene BiederFoundry: Rene BiederDesign Owner: Rene BiederMyFonts debut: Feb 15, 2018 Franca
