The Design

About Faffin Font Family Lettertype-ûntwerp en Staalkaart

De Faffin-letterfamylje is in alsidige typografyske taal, dy't twa ûnderskate stilen biedt, Faffin Sans en Faffin Display, ûntworpen om yndividueel of tegearre brûkt te wurden, wat soarget foar in naadleaze mingeling fan moderne estetyk. Faffin Sans, ynspirearre troch de objektyfens fan it Switsers type-ûntwerp, is in soarchfâldige fúzje fan moderne foarmen en bochten. Faffin Display bringt it konsept fan alsidichheid nei in heger nivo as in fariabel lettertype.

Inspired by minimalism and clarity of Swiss type design, the design of the forms, whether used independently or combined, Faffin Sans and Faffin Display offer a harmonious and contemporary typographic language.
