Eastman

Eastman was designed in 2020 for Zetafonts by Francesco Canovaro and Andrea Tartarelli with help from Solenn Bordeau. It is a geometric sans workhorse family developed for maximum versatility both in display and text use, with a wide weight range and a solid monolinear design featuring a tall x-height that makes Eastman extremely readable on paper and on the screen.

Influenced by Bauhaus ideals and contemporary minimalism, but with a nod to the pragmatic nature 19th century grotesques, Eastman has been developed as a highly reliable tool for design problem solving, and given all the features a graphic designer needs - from a wide language coverage (thanks to over one thousand and two hundred latin, Cyrillic and Greek characters) to a complete set of open type features (including small capitals, positional numbers, case sensitive forms).

An impressive array of alternate characters and stylistic sets allows to fine-tune your editorial and branding design by choosing unique, logo-ready variant letter shapes. The twenty weights of the base family have been complemented by a display-oriented alternate family, as well as one variable version, bringing the full family to an impressive count of 41 fonts. Eastman excels in both body text, headings and word-marks and it is your new option for a universal geometric grotesque.
