Author's note

Plus by Henrike Bansemer is a free high-contrast sans serif. Its tall, spare letters switch abruptly between broad black strokes and hairline-thin lines, producing a distinctly crisp fashion-editorial silhouette with especially dramatic vertical emphasis.

A fashion label or cosmetics brand could use it for wordmarks and packaging, where the severe weight changes suggest luxury without relying on serif details, and the same quality suits contemporary magazine covers and cultural posters. Against sharply cropped photography or simple geometric artwork, the alternating dark and light strokes can become part of the image itself, echoing strong edges, shadows, and bands of negative space.
