CONCEPT:
Sandwich is a flared sans serif typeface family that emphasizes the horizontal strokes of the letterforms. It aims to subvert the conventions of thicks and thins without entirely throwing them out the window. It is a versatile family designed to be used both in small contexts such as a guitar pick or liner notes and in display contexts such as an album cover.
MEMBERS OF THE TYPEFACE FAMILY: Hoagie, Lettuce Italic, Lettuce Regular, Sandwich Bold, Sandwich Italic, and Sandwich Regular
