Sable Grotesk

Sable Grotesk began as a set of lettering for a Sheffield publisher and grew into the studio's largest family. The forms are sturdy and open, with a tall x-height that holds up on signs, in headlines and at small sizes on screen. Every weight shares the same skeleton, so a light caption sits easily beside a black poster line.

Nine weights run from a fine hairline to a solid black, each with a matching italic. The variable file carries the full weight axis for layouts that need a size between the named styles. Trial fonts are free on this page, and the full specimen shows every weight set at several sizes. See the full specimen
