Parque Chas is a variable sans serif font with humanistic influences, designed for use in graphical user interfaces and information design. This superfamily is a highly versatile typographic system, ideal for digital and print media alike. With clarity, consistency, and precision, it stands out in corporate communications, signage, maps, and complex design systems.

Originally co-designed with Juan Pablo del Peral in 2009 and expanded in 2018, the family now includes a broader character set, multiple styles and weights, and four variable axes: weight, width, slant, and optical size.

Its design features slightly condensed proportions and generous spacing, giving the text room to breathe. Letterforms are clean and simple, with subtly lighter strokes than comparable humanist sans-serif families—optimized for legibility in small sizes and dense layouts. Parque Chas balances performance and readability, making it a reliable workhorse across a wide range of applications.

A standout feature of this variable font is its extreme slant axis. While most sans-serif italics tilt around 7 degrees, Parque Chas allows for up to 21 degrees of slant in both directions. This makes it particularly useful for rotated texts, signage, or urban maps with diagonal grids—like the neighborhood it’s named after.

Parque Chas is named after a unique district in Buenos Aires, whose circular and irregular street layout served as a testing ground for the typeface during its early development. The font was recognized with an award at Tipos Latinos 2010.

The family also includes a handful of practical symbols and arrows, ideal for wayfinding and interface design. Advanced OpenType features enhance its flexibility: small caps, ligatures, dynamic fractions, four sets of figures, superscripts and subscripts, ordinals, and language-specific alternates for Catalan, Guaraní, Dutch, Turkish, Romanian, and more.
