Best free alternatives to
JAF Bernini
Just Another Foundry released JAF Bernini Sans in 2012, designed by Tim Ahrens and Shoko Mugikura. It is a type system rather than a single family, made of two sub-families. Bernino Sans is the formal one, with a balanced weight distribution and open shapes for text. Bernina Sans is its softer companion and differs in the lowercase a, g, i, k and y. Each comes in five weights from Light to Extrabold, four widths down to Compressed, and italics. The design won a TDC award in 2012. These free typefaces cover the same plain, open sans register without the license fee.

The display sets the register; the body follows through. When both halves of a pair pull in the same direction, the design disappears and the words come forward.

Quiet type that does the work
Two thousand years of letterforms boil down to a handful of decisions — width, weight, proportion. Pick a pair you trust, and let the rest take care of itself.
