About Sansita Swashed

Sansita Swashed is a display typeface that adds ornament to the Sansita design: the capitals gain curved swashes, some lowercase letters are replaced by alternative shapes and new ligatures are included. All of its letters slant forward in the specimen, with brush-like modulation, flared stroke ends and a z and y that finish in curled tails; the capital A, K, Q and R throw long strokes below the baseline. It is a variable font with one axis, weight, from 300 to 900, and named instances at Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold and Black. The file holds 1,186 glyphs for Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. The official notes credit the design to Pablo Cosgaya of Omnibus-Type and its development to Aldo De Losa. It is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Sansita Swashed works

Food and drink packaging

Swash capitals and a forward slant give a product name the feel of painted sign lettering.

Mastheads and section titles

ExtraBold and Black make dark, lively title lines with flourishes on the first letters.

Restaurant menus

Light and Regular carry dish categories, with heavier weights for the name of the place.

Animated titles

The weight axis from 300 to 900 lets a heading grow heavier in motion graphics and on the web.

Logos for small brands

Alternate lowercase forms and ligatures help a short name avoid repeated shapes.

Starts at Light

The weight axis begins at 300 and its default in the file is 300, so set the weight explicitly.
