About Gitan Latin
Gitan is a flared sans serif, reminiscent of engraving and stone carving. Sturdy and informal, the design features a moderate contrast that provides durability for text setting. Crisp design details like cuneiform head serifs and deeply cut wedge terminals give Gitan a sculptural appeal – a quality desired for all things display.
Gitan’s expressiveness evokes the nuances of forms crafted directly in raw materials. The human touch provides vitality so often absent from purely mechanical designs.
Pairing a rhythmic pattern with classic construction makes Gitan shine in text. Its natural look reflects a tangibility that thrives in wooden and rock-solid materials. Gitan’s habitat is at the crossroads of editorial and packaging work, grounded by a feeling of substance, but finished by an artisan’s handicraft. By nature, Gitan is flexible and willing to take risks.

-
One sans serif that I think is truly original is Sherpa Sans [now called Gitan].
