Senhan
After nearly two decades of design, my love for type led me to delve into the fascinating, frustrating, tedious and immensely rewarding process of type design. I began with a strong, classically indebted serif. Senhan is the result of over a year of work and refinement. Defined by sexy, sharp, angular contours when used in headline and display scenarios, this family of 3 weights and italics is a real eye-catcher. But with a tall’ish x-height for legibility, and a medium contrast, Senhan is a workhorse at small sizes and in lengthy blocks of copy.
