A Typeface that’s Going Places

Everyone has dreamed about living on planets outside of Earth. This fantasy is becoming closer to reality due to the fact that NASA sucessfully landed on Mars last month. This revived space exploration inspired multilingual font provider Rentafont to design the first-ever typeface to be used on Mars. Simply called ‘Mars Type’, it is also touted to be “the first multiglobal typeface.” Yevgen Sadko, the CEO of Rentafont, said “‘Mars Type’ for Mars should be as ‘Gill Sans’ for England or ‘Helvetica’ for the whole Earth,” which means that the new sans-serif is optimized for legibility and utility, as well as designed for timelessness.
