Magnete Sans

Magnete Sans is a bold and flexible condensed sans serif family available in 4 widths — Ultra Narrow, Narrow, Standard, and Expanded — with 6 weights each, from Extralight to Bold, totaling 24 styles. Designed for impact, this display sans serif is ideal for branding, editorial design, posters, packaging, and digital interfaces.

Rooted in early 20th-century grotesks like Aurora and Inserat-Grotesk, Magnete Sans reinterprets these classic styles with a contemporary twist. It blends historical depth with refined details and modern versatility.

The name Magnete is inspired by the magnetosphere — a space shaped by invisible forces, much like the dynamic tension within this typeface’s letterforms. It also subtly nods to Aurora, the original design influence, referencing the Aurora Borealis and its magnetic origins.

Magnete Sans includes multiple stylistic alternates to reflect both the original and its reinterpretations: the legs of k, R, and K come in vertical, curved, and diagonal versions; t is available in both angled and horizontal styles; and straight or curved diagonals can be selected for vwxy and AMNVWXY. This versatility allows for a tailored tone — from strict and bold to more softer and fluid.

With a Latin Extended character set and OpenType features like old-style and tabular figures, fractions, case-sensitive forms, and more, Magnete Sans is both expressive and technically robust. Whether you’re looking for a narrow sans for tight layouts or a bold, geometric grotesk for punchy headlines, Magnete Sans adapts effortlessly.
