Ballpoint Sans Flat

by Matthew | Mar 6, 2024 | design, news, process

An update to the Ballpoint Font Family with an additional San Serif Flat style of letterform that continues to expand this ever-growing family. We want to ensure the family can support all design uses from display work through typeset with this extensive family.

Ballpoint Sans Flat character sheet, minus ligatures

The family includes a complete character set as well as numerous ligatures that build upon the emotion of this font.

Sample typeset of the new Ballpoint Sans Flat font using Jane Austen's work as the source.

As with most recent examples, we use Jane Austen’s masterwork as our typesetting example of the font and its utility for long-form reading. Please follow along here for this or any other project you may see here or on our social channels, below.
