CoFo Robert Sans
Contrast Foundry released CoFo Robert Sans, designed by Liza Rasskazova, as the sans-serif sibling of CoFo Robert, her Clarendon-inspired slab named after Robert Beasley. Instead of starting from a neutral grotesque, it takes the slab's warm proportions as its structural base and strips the serifs off, leaving a clean grotesque with a human touch: restrained but visible stroke contrast, even proportions and soft curves. It runs from Light to Black, with small caps and superior and inferior figures in Latin and Cyrillic. These free typefaces work the same warm, gently contrasted grotesque register without the license fee.

Quiet type that does the work
Crisp, even strokes give the display its punch. Quiet serifs underneath stay readable across thousands of words — used together by editors at the kind of paper that still prints corrections.
