PF Bague Sans Pro is a versatile monoline typeface with a distinct and eye-catching personality. Despite its inspiration from early 20th century geometrics, it diverts from the mechanical rigidity of those typefaces by incorporating humanist characteristics, such as subtle variations in stroke width and open counter shapes with vertical endings. This is a very clean and legible typeface with a warm and well-balanced texture which is ideal for intense editorial use in magazines and newspapers. Despite that, Bague Sans’ most remarkable feature is its vast array of uppercase alternates and ligatures which truly shine when set at display sizes. This typeface is automatically transformed into a flexible, charming and stylish typeface with strong modern aesthetics. From classic to modern, from excessive to neutral, Bague Sans Pro is a multipurpose typeface which offers enormous possibilities and variations for editorial design, branding and corporate identity. Bague Sans Pro signifies freedom and personal style.
This superfamily includes 18 weights from Hairline to Ultra Black with a consistent and well-refined structure. Each style consists of 1063 glyphs with more that 330 alternates and ligatures and an extended set of characters which support simultaneously Latin, Cyrillic and Greek.
Fractions : Figures separated by slash, are replaced with diagonal fractions.
Ligatures : Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph, creating a professional-looking text with no peculiar collisions among letters. This feature covers the standard f-ligatures, as well as few other ones used in normal conditions.
Discretionary Ligatures : Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph. It differs from the previous feature in the fact that it activates special (non-standard) ligatures for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. This set includes capital letters only.
Oldstyle figures : Changes selected figures from the default lining to oldstyle i.e. numbers of varying height. These are appropriate for use with lowercase text. They come in two different styles: tabular and proportional. Tabular figures have equal widths (useful for tables, so that numbers line
up from one line to the next) whereas proportional have varying widths and are basically used within a sentence.
Lining figures : This feature changes selected figures from oldstyle to the default lining form. Lining figures are numbers which fit better with all-capital text and they are of the same height as capitals or a bit smaller. They also come in two different styles: tabular and proportional.
Proportional figures : Replaces selected figure glyphs which are set on tabular widths (lining or oldstyle), with corresponding glyphs set on proportional widths (lining or oldstyle).
Tabular figures : Replaces selected figure glyphs which are set on proportional widths (lining or oldstyle), with corresponding glyphs set on tabular widths (lining or oldstyle).
Ordinals : Contextually replaces default alphabetic glyphs which follow numbers with superscripted glyphs and the sequence ‘No’ with the numero character (No). This feature includes Latin as well as Greek lowercase and capital ordinals
Stylistic Alternates Set 4&5 : These sets work together with one on top of the other. Stylistic Set 4 includes uppercase glyphs which are smaller that those in set 1. They sit under the caps height, whilst Stylistic Set 5 includes uppercase glyphs which sit on the baseline and under those in set 4. The result has a strong modern aesthetic. Both sets include Latin, Cyrillic and Greek glyphs. View the full list on the character set page on our website or by downloading the pdf.
Stylistic Alternates Set 6&8 : This two sets enable you to convert uppercase letters in extended (wider or taller) alternatives. Stylistic Set 8 includes a number of uppercase letters in an extended (horizontally) form. Stylistic Set 6 includes uppercase letters extended vertically under the baseline and above the caps height in Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. View the full list on the character set page on our website or by downloading the pdf.
Stylistic Alternates Set1 : Stylistic Set 01 includes a set of uppercase Latin, Cyrillic and Greek letters which replace a capital letter of your choice with a smaller one which sits under the Caps height. View the full list on the character set on our website or by downloading the pdf.
Stylistic Alternates Set2&3 : These two stylistic sets include alternate glyphs replaced mainly for aesthetic reasons. View the full list on the character set page on our website or by downloading the pdf.
Stylistic Alternates Set7 : This stylistic set includes alternate glyphs for discretionary ligatures. Activate the discretionary ligatures option and then you may change them by clicking on the alternative choices which are displayed in the stylistc set palette. Ideal for logotype design and editorial. View the full list on the character set on our website or by downloading the pdf.
Superiors : Replaces lining and oldstyle figures with superior figures and lowercase letters with
superior letters. These superior glyphs are not computer generated scaled-down versions but are rather
redesigned to match the weight of the regular glyphs. Superior figures are used mainly for footnotes
and superior letters for abbreviated titles (this feature includes Latin as well as Greek superior
lowercase and capital letters).
Scientific inferiors : Replaces lining and oldstyle figures with inferior figures. They have been
designed to match the weight of the regular glyphs and sit lower than the standard baseline. Used
primarily for mathematical and chemical notations.
