![]() ![]() The collections can be used separately – simply pick the style that suits your taste the best, for the task at hand. Each member is related to another and benefits from cross-pollination, yet hardly any characteristic is present in all. What they have in common is not so much the skeleton or dressing, but a shared spirit. All five collections are romans, in one way or another. SangBleu appropriates the best from the past and transforms it into an effective tool set for the aesthetic and technical environment of our day and age. While the design inevitably was informed by history, stylistic purity or authenticity were of no concern. There is little point in discussing SangBleu in terms of categories like oldstyle, transitional, modern etc. Instead, each member offers a distinctive voice that can serve a dedicated purpose, and meet a stylistic preference. The collections don’t represent an obvious linear progression of optical sizes (like Display/Text/Caption) either – although some styles lend themselves more to being used at a certain size than others. The typeface’s setup doesn’t follow the conventional patterns deduced from typeface classification (Serif/Sans/Slab) or font production techniques (with intermediate styles that are neither fish nor fowl). At 45 styles in total, it is our most ambitious release so far. Each one comes in four or five weights, all of which are accompanied by matching italics. It is not an update, but a completely new design, consisting of five full-featured collections: Empire, Kingdom, Republic, Versailles, and Sunrise. The new SangBleu supersedes our previous typeface of the same name, which, together with Romain, has been discontinued. Guided by our vision of future graphic and editorial design, we have developed SangBleu into an elaborate supercollection of unprecedented structure and versatility. The new SangBleu typeface is set to write the next chapter in this success story, once again raising the bar for comprehensive typographic solutions. SangBleu has helped to lay the foundations of the Swiss Typefaces library, and was met with enthusiasm by designers from all over the world. ![]() It is with great pride that we announce the release of the all-new SangBleu typeface. ![]()
