Gandhi Serif Gandhi Sans font is a humanist type family by Raul Plancarte developed for optimal Spanish language typography and extended reading.

The humanist proportions create comfortable reading experiences for books, magazines, and educational materials. Particularly well-suited for Latin American publishing, academic texts, and institutional communications where Spanish takes priority. The dual-style system allows designers to establish hierarchy using style contrast rather than size alone. Gandhi's text-optimized proportions make it especially effective for sustained reading on screens and in print. Each style pairs naturally with the other.

Gandhi Serif Gandhi Sans comes from the work of Raul Plancarte. The typeface reflects a focus on typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

These optical characteristics make it well-suited for corporate identity systems requiring neutrality.
