Sempione Grotesk is a sans of 'Swiss' inspiration with a big x-height. It works well at all sizes, from small to large, and is suitable for both publishing and advertising. Starting from the study of Forma typeface, this font picks up some very different typographic tradition and ideas. These include ligatures and ornaments etc., usually associated with seriffed typefaces, and features typical of the Swiss school of sans serifs such as horizontal terminations and letters that tend to be of equal width.
