Nine weights, matched italics, zero serifs
Pensum Sans is the sans-serif member of TypeMates' Pensum Trilogy, sharing the same skeletal structure as its serif companion Pensum Pro while adding ink traps, balanced contrast, and unexpected details. The family spans nine weights from Thin to Black, each with matched italics, across 18 styles and 1,078 glyphs. TypeMates positions it for text-heavy editorial contexts—magazines and news—at both small text sizes and headline scales. Latin language support exceeds 200 languages.
