S E N T I N E L S T E N Type, designed by James Arboghast
Bringing a renewed spirit to its type, machine fonts never looked this futuristic or had such a striking high impact effect. Sten's profuse linear abstraction & folded block-like segments convey a sense of mass & power on an industrial scale.
Sten II---this edition---features:
* improved design & build quality
* easy access to ligatures & extended characters
* counterless 'blind' glyph set
* OpenType format
Two sets of complimentary letters---upper & lower case---allow combinations for letter fit, symmetric value or abstract fun. Sten's 14 ligatures & companion set of 88 counterless or 'blind' characters add further range. Photos & graphic images can be inserted into the counterless glyphs for even more effects.
Sten's Cyrillic ambitions are met by its twin, Sten Cyrillic. The Cyrillic glyphs can be used as decorative alternates or to spell out real words in Cyrillic. Designers in Russia & Siberia can put the shoe on the other hand by using Sten Cyrillic as the regular font & the Latin glyphs for decoration.
The OpenType Sten contains all ligatures, Cyrillic characters & counterless alternates in one font. The TrueType version is split over 3 fonts---Regular, Cyrillic & Counterless.
Sten is ideal for logos & poster work, signage, point of sale material, retail product packaging, on-product typography & screen printed apparel
