#15 Winner Sans by sportsfonts
Q1: Where did the idea for the typeface come from? Did you set out to address a specific use or suite of the application? Was this a design you’d had in mind for a while?
Ans: Designing Winner and Winner Sans was like doing something that someone else had forgotten to do. When I started Sportsfonts with the aim of making custom fonts for sports clubs, I was surprised to see that no one had done the classic chamfered sports design well and consistently in many widths and weights before. So I started Winner, and later I added the more versatile Sans companion together with Sven.
Q2: What should graphic communicators know about the typeface, or how will the family of fonts help them create better designs?
Ans: Winner Sans is like a tool that no toolbox should be without. It’s a classic design without extravagance that can be used for more than just sports design thanks to its versatility – which has been further enhanced by the recent addition of a variable font.
