Officina Sans is a clean but not sterile type, vertical but not cramped, with adequate leading for readability.

The monotony of strictly vertical and horizontal elements is broken by the curved tails on the lowercase b, d, g, l, m, p, q, and u that almost suggests serifs.

Slanted terminals on capital V, W, X, and Y give the forms a more rounded appearance, while the slanted ends of capital C, E, F, R, S, and T provide a dynamic, angled appearance, keeping the forms from being too static.

Evenly proportioned, with similar weights, Officina Sans is legible enough for corporate use, yet playful enough for advertising or marketing materials.
