clean sans serif typeface with technical look, built with high readability and wide usability in mind... so not a really creative font, but i somehow like it anyway.:P Update: extended latin A is complete now... Take a look at the stencil version and the slab serif version (my current favorite) as well!

I'm a fan of the genre and you've got a real winner here. Really nice work with the 'V, W, X, Y' series. And the lowercase 'k' is a great touch.

Very nice. I'm smitten by your @.

Hey, it doesn't have to be over-the-top to be creative. Very nice choices.

Comment by intaglio 3rd may 2009

@intaglio Amen.

@shastaConsidering your goals of "high readability and wide usability", I think you've achieved them very nicely.

Comment by aphoria 3rd may 2009

thanks for your comments! i appreciate it...:)
so far this has probably been the fontstruction i've used the most often. it works pretty well as a stylish technical font for clean designs.

here's a little sample of the slab serif version i'm working on... comments and critics are welcome!
(i'm not very happy with the capital A... looks a bit stupid like that. any suggestions?

(and yep, i think i make some progress with my samples... the one above is pretty disgusting, i'll change that soon.;))

edit: the slab serif version is out now...

Ooh, very nice.

Comment by aphoria 4th june 2009

Wow, completely believable on the slab front. I'm smitten.

currently working on a light version... maybe i'll release this in 3 or 5 different weights.

Comment by Tobias Sommer (shasta) 31st july 2009

jawbreaking!

Comment by cayo 31st july 2009

It's beautiful. I love the e, in both weights.

The Ultra Light version is out now... Not exactly the same as the preview in my last post here, but better. ;)
I also renamed this from Exempla Sans Strict to Exempla Sans Medium, as I hope to make a complete family out of this. Here's what I have so far:
