## 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 it 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.

## Things to know

- **One weight, no bold**: Sanchez comes as Regular 400 and its italic. A browser asked for bold will synthesise it.
- **Latin only**: The fonts carry the Latin and Latin Extended character sets.
- **Reserved font name**: The license notice reserves the name Sanchez; modified versions need another name.
