Rival Sans is a highly versatile sans-serif font family, consisting of 32 fonts and 2 styles, making it suitable for a wide range of graphic design projects such as branding, signage, editorial design, advertising, packaging, and logo creation. Its ten-degree angled terminals and sharp upward cuts on certain letters (like “l”, “b”, or “d”) bring dynamism and modernity to the design.
Rival Sans is also distinguished by its humanistic character, giving the family warmth and a more natural approach. Its open forms and soft curves, inspired by handwritten script, create a more fluid and engaging visual connection with the reader. Characters like “a” and “e” feature subtly rounded and open contours, enhancing this organic dimension. This humanistic approach makes text more inviting while maintaining visual functionality and efficiency, ensuring a perfect balance between modernity and humanity.
The italic versions of Rival Sans also stand out with rounded curves, adding a humanistic touch that blends seamlessly with the regular version while retaining a decidedly contemporary look.
Rival Sans includes numerous powerful OpenType features, such as small caps, old-style and tabular figures, slashed zero, ligatures, and alternate characters, adding personality to graphic design projects. It is also designed for complex editorial layouts, featuring a robust kerning system called “Pro Kerning,” which optimizes headlines, subtitles, and long paragraphs in real time, using over 2,500 glyph pairs. Additionally, the italic styles of this family are fully developed as distinct styles, with a calligraphic design that differs from the regular version.
With an extended character set of over 980 glyphs, Rival Sans covers more than 200 languages from Western, Eastern, and Central Europe. A narrow version is also available for editorial projects with limited space.
Finally, Rival Sans is part of a comprehensive “type system” that includes variants such as serif and slab versions, offering a total of 62 styles for your graphic or web creations while ensuring visual consistency.
This font family is available with one or more variants across typeface genres or styles.
