An extreme but stylish italic
An extreme but stylish italic
The italic versions of FS Split Sans and Serif are particularly striking.
While similar in style to their upright, Roman versions, they take on a larger-than-usual 18-degree angle, making the forward-slant more dramatic.
Although the main purpose of any italic is to help words and phrases stand out, this unique execution helps to make the italic variants of FS Split stylish fonts in their own right
– they would work brilliantly on magazine covers, in titles and headlines, pull quotes, and even used commercially in logos and corporate branding.
Serif and sans: a split personality
Serif and sans: a split personality
FS Split Sans and Serif have their differences but also their similarities, contrasting and complementing each other perfectly.
This ‘love hate’ relationship inspired the name of the typeface family, and means the two variants provide a versatile,
typographic palette for use in graphics and branding. While its proportions are similar to the sans,
the serif has a bigger contrast between its weights of bold, regular and light, bracketed serifs, and different styles of terminals,
some being straight and others ball-shaped. FS Split Sans has more subtlety and simplicity, with a smaller weight contrast,
less flamboyant terminals, and more consistent counter sizes. The two variants are distinct yet alike, so can be used successfully either in isolation or together.
