Typefaces with features from both sans and serif styles.
FF Max is a Danish sans inspired by Aldo Novarese’s Eurostile (1962). The letter shapes in FF Max have rounder, friendlier forms, giving the typeface a certain human touch. FF Max works well as a headline face for magazines and newspapers, but sets text with surprising ability too.
ITC Syndor is the work of Swiss designer Hans Eduard Meier, a font which is almost, but not quite, a sans serif. The beginnings and endings of strokes display a hint of the calligrapher's hand and these tiny serifs optimize legibility. This legibility and the typeface's simple forms make ITC Syndor an excellent choice for business and presentation graphics.

Uppercase as well as lowercase letters have serifs in the upper left and lower right corners, vestiges as it were of the connection to earlier, handwritten letters. Evert Bloemsma’s focus on contemporary design made it difficult for him initially to consider... Read More
FF Roice is a re-tooled version of the concept behind FF Engine. Both typefaces come from Dutch designer Alex Scholing. While each are contemporary sans serifs, FF Roice is the more “serious” of the two. FF Roice comes in five weights, each complete with italics.
