Tilden Sans Font Family by Delve Fonts












About:
Contemporary, clean and ready for work, Tilden Sans was designed by Delve Withrington to be no-nonsense but approachable and distinct from other sans serifs in this class.
Tilden Sans has rectilinear forms and slightly condensed proportions with incised terminals on the rounded strokes—like those in the capital C or S, and many lowercase letters. It has low contrast and a generous x-height. All of those features make it a pleasure to use and read. The family has seven useful weights to choose from: Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold, and Black.
The typeface is named after Major Charles Lee Tilden (1857–1950), an attorney and businessman in the San Francisco Bay Area. Major Tilden was instrumental in creating and administrating some of the first public parks in California.
The style of Tilden Sans is evocative of new technology and contemporary design. Some suggested applications where this typeface performs brilliantly are in UI elements, product packaging, headlines and subheads, and short passages of text.
