Patron, a sans serif influenced by type designers Günther Gerhard Lange and Roger Excoffon. Patron has been developed
by uniting their contradictory approaches to create an expressive, yet versatile grotesk.
As a result, Patron is characterised by a generous x-height, distinctive stroke endings and an unconventional shift in balance, inspired by Excoffon — and a precise, consequent and modern interpretation of which Lange was most famous for.
Patron was designed by Timo Gaessner from 2011 to 2014 and comes in twelve styles in total (six weights with corresponding italics). Each style comprises an extended Latin character set as well as a comprehensive set of OpenType features.
