Font Facts

• Novaletra Sans CF was based on Novaletra Serif CF and, as the two share a base design, they can be interchanged or used together with minimal fuss.
• As its name suggests, Novaletra was created with the intent of creating a new approach to body copy design in a sans serif format.

Roots

Novaletra Sans CF is an original design by Connary Fagen, designed in 2023 as a companion to Novaletra Serif CF, a serif designed for text and body copy. Elements from Novaletra Serif, such as its old-style characteristics, have been filed down to create a warm, smooth sans that offers wonderful readability not commonly found in sans serif typefaces. Subtle calligraphic touches and soft corners are implemented to lend visual interest, while the simple construction and medium x-height maximize legibility at small sizes.

Legibility

Novaletra Sans CF has been designed expressly for text use, and reads well at small to medium sizes. Though full of character and warmth, Novaletra never sacrifices legibility. Its low contrast design ensures easy reading.
