Lavigne Nova Sans

> Read licence

In 2023, Ramiro Espinoza decided to revisit and expand Lavigne, a typeface he designed between 2003 and 2006 while pursuing his master's degree in the Type and Media program at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague.

The first stage consisted of launching Lavigne Nova Text and Display, adding several extra weights, full linguistic coverage for Central European languages ??that use the Latin alphabet, and countless improvements in outlines and spacing.

In 2024, Espinoza began working to expand the system even further with a grotesk subfamily: Lavigne Nova Sans, a refined, multipurpose family consisting of fourteen fonts.

This new subfamily shares numerous formal characteristics with the historical designs that have defined the grotesk genre (vertical stress, balanced counters, low contrast, and a look similar to German and Swiss fonts from the first half of the 20th century). However, the fact that many details were based on Lavigne's serif versions and the presence of true italics give it a more original and slightly more humanistic look than the abundant interpretations of Akzidenz Grotesk and Helvetica.

The ascenders and descenders are slightly more pronounced than usual in these typefaces. This detail reinforces consistency with the rest of the Lavigne family as Lavigne Nova Sans can be easily combined with Lavigne Nova Text in the same lines.
