About Sansita

Sansita is a sans serif family in which the strokes flare toward their ends instead of finishing in serifs. The lowercase shows a calligraphic origin: stems widen at the top, and the curves of a, n and s swell and thin as a broad pen would shape them. Capitals are narrow and formal, with clear contrast between thick stems and thinner horizontals. The family is weighted toward the heavy end. After Regular 400 it jumps to Bold 700, ExtraBold 800 and Black 900, and each of these four weights has an italic, giving eight styles as static fonts. The 499 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended. The official description names Pablo Cosgaya as the designer at Omnibus-Type and recommends the face for packaging, short texts, branding and slogans. Sansita is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Sansita works

Food packaging

Black 900 with flared strokes gives a product name a warm, hand-cut look on labels and wrappers.

Slogans and taglines

Short lines are what the official description recommends, and the narrow capitals keep a slogan compact.

Brand identities

Three heavy weights plus Regular let a logo, a headline and a supporting line differ in weight within one family.

Café menus and signs

An italic in every weight adds a second voice for dish names or daily specials.
