Fab Sans
Fab Sans designed by Fabiana Maria Gelmetti
BYE MODERN No. 20, WELCOME FAB SANS. Fab Sans is the evolution of an already existing font called Modern No.20. Modifying the skelethon and using different sized brushes, I obtained a new font with its own features, such as the distinctive bend of the stroke that can be found on several letters. It has sharped terminals and a rounded shape that give a nice and well balanced impression. 15 pt / 17 pt

MY MISTRESS‘ EYES ARE NOTHING LIKE THE SUN 30 pt / 32 pt
My mistress‘ eyes are nothing like the sun, coral is far more red, than her lips red; if snow be white, why then her breasts are dun, if hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damask‘d, red and white, but no such roses see I in her cheeks; and in some perfumes is there more delight than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know that music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go: my mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground. And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare. 16 pt / 20 pt

NASA‘S MARS LANDER SENDS BACK FIRST PICTURES FROM RED PLANET 24 pt / 24 pt InSight probe reveals desolate landscape as dust settles after its arrival on Martian surface 10 pt
This is the view across Elysium Planitia, the vast lava plain near the equator of Mars, where Nasa’s InSight lander touched down after a hair-raising descent on Monday. The probe snapped the image of the desolate landscape as the dust thrown up by its arrival was still settling around it. Over the coming days, InSight will take more photos of the landing site and send them back to Earth, where scientists will use them to decide where the probe should place its instruments. The lander’s seismometer will be an ear to the ground that listens for “marsquakes”, which shudder through the planet when slabs of under-ground rock fracture and slip. Another instrument will burrow into the ground and take the temperature of the red planet. 14 pt / 14 pt
Hours after InSight touched down, the probe called home to say its solar panels had opened and were collecting what feeble sunlight reaches the planet. On a clear day the panels will generate 700W.
Taken with a clear dust cover still in place on the camera lens, the picture was beamed up from the Martian surface to Nasa’s orbiting Odyssey spacecraft, and from there sent the 91m miles (146m kilometres) to Earth. 11 pt / 12 pt
“The notion that a sans serif is an impoverished type design is in no way correct, its letterforms show the essential of a typeface. No terminal strokes or other extensions deflect the eye from the essential form, which is exceedingly sensitive and registers the smallest errors of shape „ 25 pt / 31 pt
