About Chroma
Chroma is a sophisticated sans serif that combines elegant curves with a bold graphic stance. The slightly extended font covers a wide spectrum of weights, from black display use to bright text applications. The typeface finds early inspiration from a poster discovered in the book Graphic Design Manual (1965) by Armin Hofmann. While the unique graphic letterforms sparked the initial inspiration for Chroma, Selina Bernet re-energized the 60s Swiss aesthetic with her own contemporary design sensibilities.
Over years of development the typeface garnered underground notoriety in its pre-released form and has been used for a variety of projects in a mix of industries. We’re proud to present Bernet’s debut font, as she has been part of the Source Type family since day one. Chroma is now officially available, an unparalleled Swiss banger featuring a set of weights crafted for peaktime or afterhours.
