From the foundry
Drawn by Paul Barnes as the primary headline typeface for Sami Valtere's 2013 redesign of Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's most widely read national daily newspaper. Sanomat is an unusual hybrid, a serif face with flared sans terminals influenced by 'serifless romans' like Optima and Albertus. Its inscriptional quality helped maintain the feel of a quality broadsheet as the paper transitioned to a tabloid format, while its gentle curves echo Finnish 20th-century architecture and design.
