Mercer Sans — Neutral Grotesque from Ordklasse
Mercer Sans is a neutral grotesque typeface drawn for sans and grotesque
Mercer Sans is a neutral grotesque with a steady rhythm, a tall x-height and tight, even spacing. Terminals are cut flat and the joins are clean at both weights, so it holds together from a caption to a poster. Two weights and a variable file between them.
2 weights, 75 glyphs each, released September 2026.
Licenciado para trabalhos em Brazil e em qualquer outro lugar, em todas as línguas que o conjunto de glifos cobre.
Mercer Sans character
Mercer Sans text
A display face earns its keep in the two lines that carry a masthead, but it is judged on whether it survives everything around them. Mercer Sans is set here at reading size so the question can be answered before a licence is bought rather than after.
The 2 weights are interpolated from a single skeleton, which is what keeps the rhythm even across the range: stems thicken, counters close and sidebearings tighten together rather than each weight being drawn to its own logic. Regular holds together at text size; Black closes up without filling in.
