Sharp Slab Font Family was designed by Lucas Sharp, Connor Davenport and published by Monotype. Sharp Slab contains 14 styles and family package options. The Sharp Sans Collection comprises four related families created for editorial design that began as a pair of display fonts inspired by Herb Lubalin’s iconic Avante Garde; Sharp Sans Display No.1 and No.2 then attracted Hillary Clinton’s creative team in 2016, which necessitated an expansion of the family that was designed within the unique environment of a modern presidential campaign, giving birth to Sharp Sans Standard and Slab to complete the family. The Sharp Sans Collection has been optically designed for comprehensive editorial situations requiring complex typographic hierarchy, and was developed and rigorously tested during a key turning point in the era of digital communications. Sharp Sans adapts to a wide range of moods but stays centered on geometric neutrality, communicating both clarity and familiarity. The Sharp Sans superfamily was designed to fulfill every possible typographic need on the campaign trail: headlines and banners, readable text in both digital and printed contexts, websites and social media platforms, and everything in between. These wide-ranging needs utilized daily over the course of a modern presidential campaign have ensured the relevance of Sharp Sans in our contemporary world, where adaptability and timelessness have become fundamental requirements of digital type design.
