An Innovative Typeface Specimen by Paul Robb

Abaliss Sans stands out with its strong stylistic geometric contrasts, embodying the shifting contemporary aesthetics. Its distinctive stance and wide-open counters make it the perfect choice for branding and communications projects, ensuring visual consistency and impact.

Developed using Glyphs, Abaliss Sans boasts a comprehensive range of weights, each offering more than 700 glyphs. The typeface includes stylistic letter and numeral sets, alternative glyphs, and discretionary ligatures, providing designers with a versatile toolkit to bring their visions to life.

The Abaliss Sans specimen was meticulously crafted, with the CMYK printing process enhanced by a special fluorescent green. This limited-run specimen was exclusively sent to existing customers, showcasing the typeface's unique properties and inviting them to explore its potential.

The journey of Abaliss Sans began in 2022 and reached its completion in 2023. Throughout the design process, extensive research was conducted to refine the form, shape, and structure of the font. Drawing inspiration from early 20th-century fonts, ranging from humanistic to geometric styles, the design team pushed the boundaries of the typeface's stylistic expression.

Overcoming creative and technical challenges, the team successfully created a typeface that embodies innovation and contemporary aesthetics. Abaliss Sans has already garnered recognition in the design community, receiving the Bronze A' Design Award in 2023 for its outstanding contribution to graphics, illustration, and visual communication design. This prestigious accolade celebrates designs that showcase resourcefulness, technical prowess, and a commitment to improving the quality of life through art, science, design, and technology.

Abaliss Sans is a testament to Paul Robb's dedication to pushing the boundaries of type design. With its unique properties and versatile applications, this contemporary typeface is set to make a lasting impact in the world of branding and communications.
