Digital Sans

Futura as a starting point, not a destination

Digital Sans is a geometric sans-serif family designed by Tim Vanhille and Matthieu Salvaggio at Blaze Type, released in 2023. Rooted in the geometric tradition of Paul Renner's Futura, it is not a revival but an independent interpretation that questions geometric systems to establish its own formal language. The family spans seven weights with matching italics and ships as a variable font, covering Latin European languages.

Insights

The family offers two distinct alternate glyph sets—one with diagonal cuts and one with vertical cuts and sharp angles—allowing the typeface's tone to shift without changing weight.
Constructed alternates for select letters provide an additional layer of customization beyond the two default glyph modes.
Available in TTF, WOFF, WOFF2, and variable file formats, targeting both screen and print use cases.
