Its varied system of uppercase letter widths also relates well to its small lowercase. For something that needs to work for everything, however, smaller all-capital settings included this typeface would not be appropriate.
A common theme in our work is to create harmonious systems of uppercase letter-width relationships. The word-shape of the new Sharp Sans uppercase has a much evener interval of rhythm than its display predecessor. The features unique to monolinear capital letters that makes the scrutiny of letter width relationships so important in this space are the lack of ascenders and descenders, the nature of monolinear typography, and the simplicity of the Latin alphabet.
The degree to which each letterform inhabits or exceeds this space is unique to the construction of that particular letter. However, they are not intended to optically appear as all the same width. We reduced the width of forms whose sides take up less optical weight than those with flat stems. Other letters like the A and V compensate their dense, acute joins by taking up more ground with less form.
In letters made up of higher amounts of strokes like the M and W, the density of form gets too dark, and they must exceed the confines of the H-width substantially. The I and J are the other far outliers to this median-width range on the opposite extreme, being only a single stroke and therefore taking up far less space.
Many other useful updates can be found under the hood as well. The quotations, apostrophe, ampersand, and the numerals were all drawn from scratch to give the typeface a friendlier and more approachable voice.
While most superfamilies are organized by a single differentiating principal between optical size text, display, etc. There is a stylistic differentiation between the two display cuts of the family, Sharp Sans Display No.
Sharp Sans is not a text face; it is a one-size-fits-all use-it-for-everything face. While the original Display versions complement the new Sharp Sans beautifully when used in tandem, the choice to use one or the other at an appropriately large point size is a stylistic decision, as well as a practical one. Sharp Sans Display is edgy and provocative, while the new Sharp Sans finds grace and utility in its perfectionism.
