New families: Sansduski & SansduskiMono

As part of creating the unusual striped lettering featured in BigStripesMono, I designed a bold sans-serif set of upper-case letters.  A few weeks ago I decided to expand that set of letters by adding lower-case letters and more weights. The result was SansduskiMono. Its high x-height and tight spacing make it better suited for display and decorative uses than for blocks of text. Having put the effort into expanding the original typeface, it was a logical step to modify it a bit more by creating a proportional family from it, which is called Sansduski. Both families have twenty members, with an outline style that complements the black style and obliques styles for all the weights and the outline style. Both are appropriate for titles, posters, advertising, and other uses that benefit from simple letter forms that are geometric and clean. 


Both are available from myfonts (here and here) and fontspring (here and here).
