About Port Lligat Sans

Port Lligat Sans is a display sans serif with a condensed build and soft stroke variation. Its stems are not ruler-straight: they narrow slightly in the middle and widen at the ends, an effect the official notes call entasis, and the terminals are plain with no ornament. In the specimen the capitals are narrow, the lowercase has compact round letters, and the stroke endings on a, l and t flick slightly outward. The notes present the Sans as the skeleton for a superfamily in which every style shares the same weight and width, released first together with a Slab companion. There is one Regular style with 259 glyphs and Latin coverage limited to Western European languages. Tipo holds the copyright, and the name table credits Dario Muhafara and Eduardo Rodriguez Tunni.

Where Port Lligat Sans works

Magazine headlines
The condensed width fits a long title on one line, and the swelling strokes keep it from looking mechanical.
Short introductions and captions
The official notes describe the design as comfortable for short text and for reading on screen.
Book covers
Narrow capitals with flared ends give a title a hand-cut feel without serifs.
Menus and labels
Compact letters save width in lists of dishes or products.
