NaN Druid és una crida al teu ull, en la versió serif combina la delicadesa amb l’estètica del brutalisme, cosa que m’agrada molt. El pes més atrevit d’aquesta subfamília és una mica experimental, amb talls asimètrics i detalls angulars, i familiar alhora, perfecte per a projectes que necessiten una certa personalitat, pero sense ser molt cridanera.

Les formes de lletres úniques són el que realment diferencia a NaN Druid Serif. Està plena de sorpreses, però tot sembla cohesionat. És l’equivalent tipogràfic del caos controlat: nerviós però amb un clar sentit del propòsit.

Druid Sans pren el disseny humanista de la serif com un sans serif net, modern i molt funcional. És fàcil de llegir, gràcies als seus taulells ben oberts que deixen respirar les lletres.

Com a tipus de lletra variable, ofereix una personalització infinita, que permet als dissenyadors ajustar el pes per adaptar-se a la seva visió. Aquesta flexibilitat el converteix en una bona tipografia per projectes editorials i de branding.


NaN Druid appeals to your eye. The serif version combines delicacy with the aesthetics of brutalism, which I really like. The boldest weight in this subfamily is a little experimental, with asymmetrical cuts and angular details, and familiar at the same time, perfect for projects that need a particular personality without being too flashy.

The unique letterforms are what particularly sets NaN Druid Serif apart. It’s full of surprises, but everything looks cohesive. It’s the typographic equivalent of controlled chaos: edgy but with a clear sense of purpose.

Druid Sans takes the humanist design of the serif, being a clean, modern sans serif and very functional. It is easy to read and feels fresh, thanks to its wide-open counters that let the letters breathe.

As a variable font, it offers infinite customization, allowing designers to adjust the weight to suit their vision. This flexibility makes it a good fit for editorial and branding projects.
