Sagan 2 began as Sagan, drawn by Michael Cina in 2014. The original was inspired by Neil and carried the same logic into a geometric display family with a Paul Renner influence sitting at its base. Nine weights, five stylistic sets, and full Cyrillic across 405 languages.

Sagan 2 , the revision pulled the typeface away from Atelier and Ramsey, the two related Public Type faces it had been developed alongside, and brought forward a set of curve alternates drawn for the original that never shipped.

Sagan 2

Nine weights, all roman. The light weights handle thin display work, where the geometry reads as line and the sharp joins show themselves. The middle weights hold for editorial display and identity use. The heavy weights ground the family at large scale, where the low contrast becomes presence and the curves at the joins carry the eye through the

Sharp joins sit where strokes meet at each intersection. The curve alternates break the verticals and horizontals that geometric type accumulates over the alphabet.

Sagan 2 is a low-contrast geometric display typeface in nine weights, built around the sharp joins of an earlier Cina face and softened by a set of curves that break the verticals and horizontals, with five stylistic sets that transform the family into different typefaces depending on which are engaged.

Sagan 2 is a low-contrast geometric display typeface in nine weights, built around sharp joins and a set of curves that balance them. The sharp join is it’s structural signature. The curve alternates, drawn for the original Sagan and released for the first time in this revision, break the verticals and horizontals that geometric type accumulates over the alphabet. The two work together across the family. Five stylistic sets extend that behavior as each set changes the typeface. The base style alone reads as a clean low-contrast geometric. The sets sit as five distinct positions a designer can move between as a design decision. The nine weights carry from thin display work to bold editorial. The character set covers over 800 glyphs across full Latin and Cyrillic, supporting 405 languages. Sagan 2 stands apart from Atelier and Ramsey, the two Public Type faces it shares design DNA with. It is its own release, with its own vocabulary and its own set of positions.

Sagan started in 2014 out a love for the font Neil. It was redrawn many times and shown to Jeff Jank at Stones Throw, suggested the name, Sagan. I kept refining this font through the years. I like the idea of a typeface that changes with every update. The revision was also a chance to pull Sagan away from it’s brother and sister, Atelier and Ramsey. The three had been positioned as a loose system. Its own expanded glyph set, its own Cyrillic, its own vocabulary.
