FSdesign-Salmina

FS Design offers original typaces that you would not necessarily expect under the term “Swiss Design”. Nowadays, practically the same, more or less “accurate” variants of the Helvetica font are re-proposed again and again in the Swiss font design scene. Terms like “readability” or “functionning” are often misused to justify this form of conformism. We do not appreciate this development and see it as a form of flattening. Even Adrian Frutiger and Hans Eduard Meier, the intellectual fathers of the Swiss school, have shown more independence and courage with their projects “Avenir” and “Syntax”. With our work we want to prove that another way is possible.FS Design is a Swiss label with a neat and unique assortment of creative styles and types. All font-families are technologically state-of-the-art developments, accurately drawn and proper in their technical realization. The well developed font-families include a large amount of font styles as well as special characters of both Eastern and Western European languages, typographical ligatures and figure sets. Their accurate metrics and kerning ensure an homogenous text color. The technically up-to-date OpenType format allows the support of several OpenType features. FS Design was founded in 2005 by Filippo Salmina, a Swiss designer with a deep passion for original and perfectly shaped fonts.
