Aperçu

Apercu is a grotesque sans-serif typeface released in 2010 by Colophon, an independent type foundry set up by UK-based studio The Entente. Colophon describes Apercu as an amalgamation of ITC Johnston, Gill Sans, Neuzeit and Franklin Gothic. The design is full of character and quirks and is easily distinguishable from other grotesques.

It’s not often that a typeface with geometric heritage can be described as “loose” but Aperçu is and its happy ovoid shapes can be paired with bright colors and  illustrations.
