General Sans is a sans-serif typeface from Indian Type Foundry.
Start with Indian Type Foundry’s other releases — Switzer, Poppins, Satoshi, and Cabinet Grotesk. They come from the same studio that drew General Sans, and A1 has 40 websites using them.
General Sans is a rationalist sans serif typeface. Its letterforms feel like the France of the 1950s; they are very orderly, but also a bit spritely. The letters’ apertures are very small, making the counter-forms in typeface feel like they are being completely enclosed within their surrounding characters. The General Sans family comes in twelve weights ranging from Extralight to Bold with complementary italics.
A1 features 8 websites using General Sans, including Atlas Studio, PubQ, and Midlands. They lean towards Big type, Light, and Clean design styles, and they’re most often built with Framer and Webflow.
