Ranade is a family of sans serif fonts designed in the neo-grotesk style. It also includes a little kick, separating it from other typefaces in that genre: its diagonal letters feature stark contrast.

The diagonals that are typically written with thin strokes in classic serif typefaces maintain thin strokes in Ranade as well, even in the family’s lightest weights. Speaking of weight, Ranade features ten font styles spread across five weights; these range from Thin through Bold. Ranade is an excellent selection for use in branding and corporate design. *

Ranade can and should be used on all of the brand’s applications.
