I recently purchased part of the Leitura type family available from DSType, and it is really nice. I bought Leitura Sans and Leitura Headline because I really wanted a nice, unique humanist sans.

I’m not in love with Myriad, Frutiger or Syntax. And I loathe Gill Sans. I’d like to maybe get Cronos from Adobe since it was designed by Robert Slimbach and would match his other typefaces that I own, but it is too expensive.

Leitura Sans is very nice, and the way that Dino dos Santos integrates the entire family as a complete system is awesome. You’d really have to look at his amazing type specimen .pdf to understand what I mean.

Myfonts.com has this nice example of the family:

Anyway, I contacted Dino to let him know I appreciated his work, and we got into a little conversation. One thing led to the next, and before I knew it Dino had emailed me samples of both Leitura and Leitura News as samples! Awesome!

So thanks Dino!
