This is a type specimen book featuring the font Barlow. Barlow is a typeface that was created in 2007 in San Francisco by designer Jeremy Tribby. Barlow is a slightly rounded, low-contrast, Grotesk font superfamily. Tribby was inspired to create a typeface that intergrades the California landscape into the design. Barlow typeface is recognized for its optimal readability over long distances. Thus, it is related to Highway Gothic, Clearview, and DIN 1451, used in California for the sign industry. This type of policy is found on road signs, license plates and bus signs, among others. Barlow is a synthetic form of this style of typefaces, specially thought out so that they are seen quickly from a great distance. Barlow is a modern sans serif font with a simple and geometric design designed for efficiency and speed of reading. It comes in three hunts: Standard, Semi Condensed and Condensed, but also in nine different weights. In addition, it is adapted in italics in all its widths and weights for a total of 54.
