Index Sans Typeface
Inspired by vehicle identification numbers, postal franking, and aviation instrumentation, Index Sans began as an exploration into the rarely-acknowledged world of undesigned, industrial letterforms.
Inspired by vehicle identification numbers, postal franking, and aviation instrumentation, Index Sans began as an exploration into the rarely-acknowledged world of undesigned, industrial letterforms.
Index Sans was conceived as a text face, so a large x-height was combined with elliptical curves to open the counterforms and improve legibility at smaller sizes. Stroke endings utilize a subtle radius at each corner; a reference to striking a steel punch into a soft metal surface.
