Bastardus Sans

by Manfred Klein · Website

Bastardus Sans is a light, condensed humanist sans-serif from Manfred Klein, one of the most prolific creators in the free font community. Its narrow proportions and clean strokes carry a quiet elegance, with just enough calligraphic warmth in the letterforms to keep it from feeling sterile. Readable enough for body text at moderate sizes, and equally at home in headlines or editorial layouts where space is limited but refinement isn't optional.
