Thesis is a large typeface family designed by Lucas de Groot. The typefaces were designed between 1994 and 1999 to provide a modern humanist family. Each typeface is available in a variety of weights as well as in italic. Originally released by FontFont, it is now sold by de Groot through his imprint LucasFonts.
Thesis fonts have become popular and can be seen in various publications or logotypes.
To create a varied range of fonts of different thicknesses and levels of condensation, Thesis was developed using multiple master technology, in which weights were created by 'averaging' and extending the trend between a thick and thin design to create a smooth, continuous trend in styles from thin to very bold. The fonts also include a large number of stylistic alternate characters.
The family is a font superfamily, since it includes both serif and sans-serif designs.
A humanist sans-serif font family, somewhat similar to Frutiger. It included fonts in 8 weights and 2 widths, with complementary italic fonts. A distinctive figure is the 'Q' with the detached slash, somewhat similar to that on Dwiggins' Metro; an alternate is provided for when this is unsuitable.
In TheSans Condensed, each weight only includes roman and italic, but all 4 number styles can be found.
It is a monospaced variant. 3 widths have been produced. All fonts use hanging monospaced figures.
