Sanomat Sans
A geometric sans serif originally designed by Vincent Chan and Christian Schwartz for Sami Valtere's 2013 redesign of Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's most respected national newspaper. The sharp points on diagonal characters reference the iconic architectural lettering in Helsinki's main square near the newspaper's offices, while subtle asymmetry in the bowls tempers the monotonous texture caused by the many repeating letters in Finnish words. An extensive set of alternates gives it a chameleon-like ability to change tone.
