PIE FOUNDRY
10 of the Best Sans Serif Fonts
Posted 4 Sep 12 byPiers& filed underArt, General.
1. Helvetica a timeless classic, designed in 1957 by the Swiss Max Miedinger with
Eduard Hoffmann. Its neutrality and varying weights allow it to fit almost anywhere. The
updated Helvetica Neue is very similar, and also a truly brilliant typeface.

2. DIN designed by the German Institute for Standardization in 1931, DIN is a
fantastic, modern typeface that is still in wide use today

3. Futura designed in 1936 by Paul Renner, the bold variation is quite probably my
favourite all-time font. It is a geometric, clean, modern font with lots of practical
applications.

4. Gill Sans a very British typeface designed in 1926 by Eric Gill. The light and bold
variations were designed at a later date, and subsequently are arguably not as good as
the main font

7. Akzidenz Grotesk outdating most sans-serifs, being designed in 1896 by the
Berthold Type Foundry, it became the inspiration for many typefaces afterwards
(notably Helvetica and Univers)
