Source Sans

Source Sans is a humanist sans-serif designed by Paul D. Hunt at Adobe, drawing inspiration from early 20th-century American Gothic typefaces while incorporating contemporary clarity and functionality. The typeface features subtle stroke contrast, open apertures, and slightly condensed proportions that enhance readability across digital and print media. Its letterforms exhibit gentle curves and organic details, particularly visible in characters like 'a', 'g', and 'e', which distinguish it from more mechanical grotesque alternatives. The design balances warmth and professionalism, making it versatile for both corporate communications and editorial applications.
