Lausanne Pan is an extraordinarily sophisticated sans serif font with an ultra-organic aesthetic, very legible in small sizes and full of refined details in display sizes.
Lausanne was first of all designed with the intention of responding to the historical sans-serif like Helvetica. Lausanne brings to this intention the particularities of digital typography. Such as, for example, the duality and versatility of a “Text” character and a “Display” character. In addition, the ascending and descending lines are very short and give a compact appearance to this character.
Lausanne Pan is available in four different weights: 250, 400, 550 and 900.
Here, we focus on the two almost always in-use; 400 and 550.
Weights
400
For headlines and body copy
This is the regular weight and should always be applied to longer texts and information – as well as headlines.
Recommended digital settings for headlines:
Tracking: -40–10 %
Leading: 80–100 %
Recommended digital settings for body copy:
Tracking: 0–20 %
Leading: 130%
550
The Medium weight is mainly used for smaller sizes, like footnotes, when 400 becomes too thin.
