FF Chambers Sans Pro Medium
FF Chambers Sans is based on the combination of static grotesque forms with the dynamic forms of a traditional antique typeface. This experiment of bringing together oppositional forms to create an harmonious unity was the idea for this typeface.
In a historic scientific book from 1686 Verena Gerlach found a beautiful manually engraved Antiqua which inspired her for her own new typeface and which is still recognizable in the subtle classic appearance and the stressed diagonals of FF Chambers Sans. For a contemporary look Verena reduced the contrast by optically monolinear strokes. The rounded stroke endings make the typeface soft and legible.
The weights and italics are finely balanced so that it is especially suitable for setting books, but its frugal originality is also appropriate for use in large point sizes like for poster design. The type family contains a range of alternate characters, Small Caps, swashed initials and ligatures thus making it an elaborate typographic tool.

Character SetOpenType Features Hover over a feature to learn more. Click a feature to filter Character Set view.- Show All Glyphs
-
Access All Alternates This feature makes all variations of a selected character accessible. This serves several purposes: An application may not support the feature by which the desired glyph would normally be accessed; the user may need a glyph outside the context supported by the normal substitution, or the user may not know what feature produces the desired glyph. Since many-to-one substitutions are not covered, ligatures would not appear in this table unless they were variant forms of another ligature.
-
Small Capitals From Capitals This feature turns capital characters into small capitals. It is generally used for words which would otherwise be set in all caps, such as acronyms, but which are desired in small-cap form to avoid disrupting the flow of text.
-
Contextual Alternates When available, replaces default glyphs with alternate forms which provide better joining behavior.
-
Case-sensitive Forms Shifts various punctuation marks up to a position that works better with all-capital sequences or sets of lining figures; also changes oldstyle figures to lining figures.
-
Discretionary Ligatures Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph. This feature covers those ligatures which may be used for special effect, at the user's preference.
-
Standard Ligatures Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph, e.g. 'fi', 'fl'. This feature is enabled by default and cannot currently be disabled.
-
Lining Figures This feature changes selected figures from oldstyle to the default lining form.
- Localized Forms
-
Oldstyle Figures This feature changes selected figures from the default lining style to oldstyle form.
-
Ordinals Replaces default alphabetic glyphs with the corresponding ordinal forms for use after figures.
-
Proportional Figures Replaces figure glyphs set on uniform (tabular) widths with corresponding glyphs set on glyph-specific (proportional) widths. Tabular widths will generally be the default, but this cannot be safely assumed. Of course this feature would not be present in monospaced designs.
-
Stylistic Alternates Replaces the default forms with stylistic alternates. Note that there may be more than one stylistic alternate for a given character.
-
Small Caps This feature turns lowercase characters into small capitals. Forms related to small capitals, such as oldstyle figures, may be included.
-
Stylistic Set Stylistic alternatives grouped as sets.
- Stylistic Set 2
- Stylistic Set 3
- Stylistic Set 4
- Stylistic Set 5
-
Tabular Figures Replaces figure glyphs set on proportional widths with corresponding glyphs set on uniform (tabular) widths. Tabular widths will generally be the default, but this cannot be safely assumed. Of course this feature would not be present in monospaced designs.
