Humanist Sans Serif typefaces do not have serifs and are the most calligraphic of the sans-serif typeface group. This is apparent in
the variation of stroke widths.

Typefaces in this classification tend to be more legible than other sans-serif typefaces, and can be easily and comfortably read as bodies of text.

The first Humanist Sans Serif typefaces appeared in the
early 20^th century.

One noteworthy typographer of this category is Eric Gill, who designed Gill Sans in 1928.

• Mr Eaves
• Tahoma

• Trebuchet
