Astilbe Sans is a humanistic and versatile sans serif typeface that balances everyday utility with a soft and welcoming presence. Its forms are rooted in broad pen calligraphy, while retaining the quiet rhythm and softness of handwritten strokes. These influences give the family a natural and approachable tone, warm without becoming casual, and clear without feeling mechanical.

Designed for environments where legibility and personality must coexist, Astilbe Sans adapts easily to identities, publications, signage and digital interfaces. Its open proportions and constant flow make it comfortable in both text and display sizes.

The family spans 18 styles, from Hairline to Black, with corresponding italics, offering a wide expressive range for a nuanced typographic voice.

Astilbe is the refined evolution of Elba, a project first developed in 2016 at Type@Cooper in New York, now developed into a more mature and cohesive family.
