Sanomat
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.
