Value Sans

Value is a contemporary family of two typefaces: Value Sans and Value Serif. Both derivatives were drawn in response to conversations centered around notions of cultural and fiscal exchange: Value Sans borrows style and behavior from precedents like Elegant Grotesk (DE) and Granby (UK); Value Serif pays homage to forebears like Plantin Infant (FR + US) and Italian Old Style (US).
Value Sans was drawn first by Colophon Foundry (UK), while the Serif was drawn shortly after by designer Benjamin Critton (US). Each borrow their geometry from the other and the nuances of the two related typefaces were finalized by all parties and released under Colophon Foundry.
Value Sans is now available in 4 weights — Regular, Medium, Bold & Black – with corresponding Italics. It is available to license in both Standard (‘STD’) and Professional (‘PRO’) versions, the latter containing additional Latin language support, Cyrillic and Greek scripts, OpenType features and copious stylistic alternates.
