Description: I've been working on a usable sans serif for body copy since the mid-1990s (though I certainly did not know it at the time).

This one works well. It started life back in the mists of time as an old Dutch Bible font. It was developed fully as a synergized serif with strong traditional roots and released as Bergsland Pro.
Now it finally makes it to where I was headed all along as a sans text font. This is a well modulated humanist, sans serif font family with many OpenType features and over 600 characters: Caps, lower case, small caps, ligatures, swashes, small cap figures, old style figures, numerators, denominators, accents characters, ordinal numbers, and so on.

It is designed for text use in body copy. But it also works very well for elegantly stylized display.
OpenType: Standard, Capitals to Small Caps, Discretionary Ligatures, Denominator, Fractions, Standard Ligatures, Lining Figures, Numerator, Oldstyle Figures, Ordinals, Proportional Figures, Scientific Inferiors, Small Caps, Superscript, Tabular Figures

David has worked in printing and publishing since he began in 1971. As he progressed from illustrator, to graphic designer, to typographer, to art director, he fell in love with type. Yet he was frustrated by the fonts available—specifically the lack of oldstyle figures, small cap figures, and the rest of the typographic niceties needed for excellent typography. When he was asked to write the first textbook on the all-digital printing workflow in 1994, he decided he would need to design all the fonts for the book, as well. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that people liked his fonts, and that he sold quite a few. Since that time, he has design dozens of fonts and font families. He designs display fonts, but his heart is in body copy fonts, with a companion font for the headers using the same vertical metrics. Currently, he writes and publishes full-time. His personal, best selling book is "Practical Font Design With FontLab 5".
