However, there’s always room for new discoveries in the world of hunting down the perfect pairing, and what better way to start than with a perfect typeface? Pangram’s latest release Editorial Sans, provides just that.

Editorial Sans, the latest from Pangram Pangram, is a SUPER fresh take on an absolute contemporary classic and, let it be said, an industry favourite: Editorial New . Now with 100% less serifs, Editorial Sans imagines its predecessor’s warm, traditional tone through a modern lens – taking its human character in a whole new direction. All the while, it’s equally as versatile as its serifed counterpart, with true italics, alternates and 16 whole, rigorous styles.

You might be asking though, with all that typographic power, what direction do you go when you want to pair it with something that matches up to its goodness?! Well, we have some ideas.

Editorial Sans and OT Jubilee

From Pangram Pangram’s sister foundry, Off Type, OT Jubilee is royalty in the PP Universe, taking the oddities of British typographic legacies, mixing them up and coming out the otherside with something completely different. Alongside Editorial Sans, they make quite the dynamic pairing, blending modern minimalism with historic, alluring opulence. Jubilee’s unique, hand-crafted letterforms and elaborate punctuation contrast beautifully with the clean lines of Editorial Sans, creating an engaging typographic harmony. Sleek, grand and beguiling.

Editorial Sans and Neue Montreal

What do you get when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force? Well, in this case, an absolutely sick combination of fonts. Combining Editorial Sans with Neue Montreal yields a powerful, versatile typographic concoction, with Neue Montreal’s Grotesque foundation, slightly tighter kerning, and balanced structure beautifully aligning with Editorial Sans ’s contemporary tone. Despite both typefaces being optimised for digital and printed applications, there is definitely a palpable sense of editorial meets technological in this pairing. A powerful pair, for sure.

Editorial Sans and Editorial New

I mean, it’s got to be done! How could you not?? Pairing Editorial Sans with its serifed predecessor, Editorial New, creates a clean, cool and cohesive balance of typographic forms. Editorial New’s refined serifs and elegant curves offer a complementary contrast to the nude lines of Editorial Sans, and vice versa. It’s almost too perfect. It’s almost as if it was by design…

Editorial Sans and Hatton

The humble juxtaposition of Editorial Sans with Hatton offers a considerably compelling contrast between modern simplicity and historical richness – playing into the legacies of Hatton ’s robust, serif design, as well as the character and depth of Editorial Sans ’s sleek, simple style. Come on, it’s both high-end and historical. Sophisticated and slick. What’s not to love? Plus, alongside Editorial Sans’ 16 styles, Hatton has another 18 to add to the mix. Not bad at all.

Editorial Sans and OT Neue Montreal Squeezed

Also from Off Type, we couldn’t not include OT Neue Montreal Squeezed . Putting Editorial Sans and OT Neue Montreal Squeezed alongside one another can’t help but emit a frighteningly electric energy, with the contrasting forms of both typefaces creating a rather innovative, urgent tone. Neue Montreal Squeezed ’s ultra-compressed forms, courtesy of its base, Neue Montreal , adds a unique aesthetic edge to the clean, modern lines of Editorial Sans , resulting in something big, bold and brilliant. Also, let’s not gloss over the fact that the typeface has 70 styles, which is insane (and insanely comprehensive).
