About this font

Locked and loaded. Compact & packed. The new voices of Media Sans.

The many voices of Media Sans all have in common a certain vibrato. Neither does it stutter, nor does it whisper: Media Sans claims and shouts big headlines. Whether it is for all-over typography or display pull quotes, Media Sans feels at home where space is vast and deadlines are tight. The diversity of styles within the family provide a lively exuberance — it feels present, engaged, and ready for action.
