Work Sans is a typeface family based loosely on early Grotesques, such as those by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/stewf/14444337254/">Stephenson Blake</a>, <a href="https://archive.org/stream/printingtypespec00millrich#page/226/mode/2up/">Miller & Richard</a> and <a href="https://archive.org/stream/hauptprobeingedr00baue#page/109/mode/1up">Bauerschen Giesserei</a>.
|

|
|
The Regular weight and others in the middle of the family are optimised for on-screen text usage at medium-sizes (14px-48px) and can also be used in print design.
|
||
|
|
The fonts closer to the extreme weights are designed more for display use both on the web and in print.
|
||
|
|
Overall, features are simplified and optimised for screen resolutions; for example, diacritic marks are larger than how they would be in print.
|
||
|
|
A version optimised for print is available from the Work Sans github project page.
