Hermes typeface

Swiss firm Paillard is probably best known for its movie cameras Bolex. Still, they manufactured typewriters under the Hermes brand name. This design is inspired by the type sample from a 1969 typewriter, the Hermes 3000. Hermes Sans was later designed as a sans-serif alternative and became a studio favourite for its all-round functionality and remarkable legibilty. Both Hermes and Hermes Sans comes in three weights and their matching italics. Available exclusively through Optimo.
