The fonts were developed by Easha Ranade at the Indian Type Foundry in Ahmedabad/India.Monotype Imaging Inc. Syphon is an excellent selection for use in branding and corporate design. Lines of text in Syphon can be set tightly and compactly the uppercase includes no descending elements – both the ‘J’ and ‘Q’ keep all of their strokes between the baseline and the cap-height. Ascenders rise slightly above the tops of the capital letters, and the the numerals are slightly shorter than the uppercase letters’ height. The italic fonts in Syphon are designed in the ‘oblique’ style. Every weight has both an upright font and an italic on offer. Speaking of weight, Syphon features ten font styles spread across five weights these range from Thin through Bold. The diagonals that are typically written with thin strokes in classic serif typefaces maintain thin strokes in Syphon as well, even in the family’s lightest weights. It also includes a little kick, separating it from other typefaces in that genre: its diagonal letters feature stark contrast.
Syphon is a family of sans serif fonts designed in the neo-grotesk style. Symphonie Grotesque is the work of Frode Helland, a type designer from Norway. It will surely also come into good use in design for galleries and publications about contemporary art. Symphonie Grotesque is an excellent selection for use in branding or in other kinds of corporate identity design.
The fonts’ ascenders rise quite a bit above the tops of the capital letters, but the capitals and the numerals both share the same height. The middle-two diagonal-strokes of the ‘M’ remain visibly above the baseline in all of the family’s styles. Symphonie Grotesque’s numerals are tabular lining figures the ‘1’ always has a nice, wide base-stroke at its bottom. But in the italics, the ‘a’ becomes single-storey, and the ‘f’and ‘ß’ get descending tails, too. For example, in Symphonie Grotesque’s upright fonts, the ‘a’ is double-storey, while the ‘g’ is single-storey (just what one would expect for a typeface of this genre).
Instead of just offering slanted, or oblique versions of the upright fonts’ letters, Symphonie Grotesque’s italic fonts include several unique, more cursive-style letterforms. Symphonie Grotesque’s italics are what really set it apart from other neo-Grotesque families. Each weight has an upright and an italic font on offer.
There are five different weights available, ranging from Regular through Heavy. Symphonie Grotesque is a family of neo-Grotesque-style sans serif fonts.
