[...] Heading Now is a grotesque sans super-family developed by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini and Andrea Tartarelli after the original design by Francesco Canovaro.
The width range is built around 11 different widths, with a big emphasis on ultra-narrow weights. In these "tall" weights the letterforms have straight sides creating a distinctive vertical texture thanks to the carefully balanced relationship between inner and outer spaces in glyphs. The "industrial grotesque" feel of these letterforms is kept in the first five widhts, but as the proportions get wider, the shapes of the letters follow a more traditional grotesque design, with rounded sides. Each of the eleven widths is provided with eight weights ranging from the monolinear Thin to a contrasted Heavy, providing a full spectrum of sans serif type solutions to your design problems. While the narrow widths work as a space-optimizing solution for headers and titles, the wider weights provide powerful display letterforms. Thanks to its versatility, Heading Now excels not only in titles and subheadings but also in infographics, wayfinding, logo design, timetables and in any situation where letter shapes must be pushed to the limit.
But Heading Now family is not only made of extreme widths: you can use the medium width range for both printed and digital body text. Matching italics provide versatility in text use, as well as a dynamic display alternate to the bolder weights.
Heading Now provides not only a wide range of size variants, but also an extended charset of over 1100 characters with full coverage for 200+ languages using Latin, Cyrillic and Greek alphabets (coverage of indic scripts is provided by the matching Heading Deva family)
All weights of Heading Now are provided with a full array of open-type features that provide case-sensitive forms, small caps, old-style and positional figures, as well as variant square dot design, high legibility forms and stylistic alternates.
