Based on Ysans designed by Jean François Porchez, Ysans Mondrian, named in reference to the Mondrian dress created by Yves Saint Laurent, is the multi-layer version of the family, allowing the colouring of your headlines. Each layer can be used separately or in addition to the others, this subfamily of Ysans is offered in free version (Desktop license only) with a reduced glyphs set but already sufficient for day to day uses.

The Ysans typeface family

Declined in many weights, Roman and Italic, Ysans offers very delicate styles, such as thin, extra light which set in tight spacing will bring a unique personality to the headlines of fashion magazines and more generally visual identity. The OpenType features for the pointed endings of A, V, N … the variant of a “Futura” will again affirm its radicality in large sizes. Each style of Ysans has two sets of punctuations: the basic punctuation and a set of thin punctuations particularly suited to headlines. The strongest weights, such as extra bold, heavy, black, will boost ads layout, like the Futura Condensed Extra Bold used by Nike successfully in the 1980s. Finally, in normal weights, Ysans’ readability will make this typeface a good tool for text setting in exhibition catalogs or annual reports.
