Started with a family of 4 weights, 4 new weights have been added two years after at client request.
Based on Henderson Serif, itself based on Baskerville, Henderson Sans can be definite as one of the first transitional sanserif, at mid distance between humanistic sanserifs like Gill Sans and grotesk sanserifs like Helvetica and Arial. Henderson Sans still remain close to Arial, in a sense that Henderson Sans is based on an ancestor style of Arial. Henderson Sans structure is modulated and its terminals not yet structurally well organised while its design is already clean and net. Finally, Henderson Sans can easily be switched from Arial back and forth.
Furthermore, Henderson Serif and Sans are built on the same structure and the same proportions to be easily exchanged at anytime without too much effect on layout and text length and size.
