About Sanchez

Sanchez is a slab serif family from LatinoType, a type foundry in Chile, credited to Daniel Hernández. The strokes keep almost the same thickness throughout, and the serifs are heavy rectangular slabs whose corners are slightly softened. Round letters such as o, c and e are close to circles, which makes the alphabet wide and open, and the numerals stand at the height of the capitals. The family offered here has a Regular and an Italic, two styles of a single weight; there is no bold and no variable version. Each font contains 369 glyphs for the Latin and Latin Extended character sets. Sanchez was added to Google Fonts in 2012 and is distributed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which reserves the font name Sanchez.

Where Sanchez works

Magazine headings and pull quotes

Blunt slabs and near-round bowls give a heading weight on the page even though the family has only the Regular cut.

Packaging and labels

The even stroke thickness survives printing on textured stock and reads clearly on small labels.

Wordmarks

Wide, open letters with soft-cornered slabs give a short brand name a sturdy, friendly outline.

Intro paragraphs

Regular and Italic together are enough for a standfirst or a short quotation with emphasis.

Spanish and Portuguese titles

Accented letters for Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan and other Latin-script languages are part of the 369 glyphs.
