'Work Sans' (former working title 'Alice')

A SIL Open Font project titled 'Work Sans' (former working title 'Alice') for Latin and Telugu.

Work Sans is a superfamily based loosely on early Grotesques — i.e. Stephenson Blake, Miller & Richard and Bauerschen Giesserei. There will be 9 weights across 5 widths. The core of the fonts are designed for on-screen medium-sized text usage (14px-48px). The fonts closer to the extreme widths and weights are designed for display use. Overall, features are simplified and optimised for screen resolutions – for example, diacritic marks are larger than how they would be in print.

Source files have been partly prepared for use in Metapolator.

Note: UFOs are exported from Glyphs App and will currently not export properly due to using 'Bracket trick'.

The project started in June 2014 and the brief is to have a minimum viable product (alpha release with 9 weights) by December 2014.
