Netflix introduced its own typeface called Netflix Sans which is designed by their own design team and in partnership with type foundry Dalton Maag. Netflix Sans replaced Gotham typeface, the same typeface CNN replaced on April 21, 2016, with CNN Sans.
The goal behind Netflix Sans is to save money, according to an interview with Netflix brand design lead Noah Nathan with It’s Nice That.
As always, I was browsing some sites, scrolling up and down on them. Suddenly, I decided visit CNN, not for the news, but to see the site’s footer because I don’t remember seeing what it looked like for a while.
So I did, and I’m glad I did because I noticed that their footer said this:
© 2016 Cable News Network. Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
CNN Sans ™ & © 2016 Cable News Network.
Apparently, on April 21st, CNN rolled out their proprietary, “brand new” typeface called CNN Sans.
