Typeface Design for Uni Sans
Grotesque roots, softened geometry
Uni Sans is a geometric sans-serif family designed entirely by Svetoslav Simov at Fontfabric, drawing influence from classic grotesques such as DIN and Dax while introducing softened curves intended to balance structural rigidity with elegance. The family spans 14 styles from Thin to Heavy, each with a matching italic. It supports Extended Latin and Cyrillic scripts and includes OpenType features such as alternates, stylistic sets, ligatures, localized forms, and case-sensitive forms. First released in June 2014, the family was last updated in August 2024.
