Nomina – a practical sans serif font inspired by the roots of Helvetica

October 20, 2022

Inspired by classic grotesque fonts like Venus and Akzidenz-G, the brilliantly executed sans serif font Nomina proves there is plenty of room to be creative and distinct within a highly usable font. Nomina’s clever details distinguish the font, while in no way impeding Nomina’s smooth readability. The design is perfectly balanced, details precisely harmonized. Open apertures evoke subtle quirkiness, with sharp terminals on each rounded glyph adding extra distinction. Nomina also includes plenty of selective alternates and OpenType features. The result is a universal font for any design style—Nomina is great for titles or text, publishing, branding, package design, corporate communications, digital artwork, poster design, social media, visual identity, and more.

Nomina is presented by Tokotype. Tokotype excels at creating fonts that are practical and accessible, while giving them just enough flare to have an individual voice. Tokotype balances art and function perfectly, and the result is a stylish, user-friendly collection. On the funkier end, consider the sharp contrasts of the serif font Celaraz. This contemporary design is excellent for large and medium type sizes, and its slick, nearly arrogant character will lend any project distinction. On the pragmatic end, consider the sans serif font Gramatika. Gramatika is smooth and readable, with an attractive intellectual quality that will smarten up any project. Please consider the entire Tokotype collection for all your design needs.
