+<p>
+    Valley Sans is a clear, versatile typeface intended to work with editorial content, as well as lending a warm charm to user interfaces.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+    To contribute, see <a href="https://github.com/HelsinkiTypeStudio/valley-sans">github.com/HelsinkiTypeStudio/valley-sans</a>.

+<p>
+    The Moomins are beloved characters created by Tove Jansson, known for wit, warmth, and charm. Valley Sans translates that spirit into a contemporary type system for brand communication, publishing, and digital interfaces while preserving a distinct connection to the Moomin visual world.
+</p>
+
+<img src="valley-sans-flotsam.jpeg">
+
+<p>
+    The design of the typeface draws from Tove Jansson's original lettering, the typographic landscape of her era, and details from life in the Finnish archipelago.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+    Tove Jansson produced a plethora of lettering in many styles. The sans serif work is sturdy and often includes slightly flared terminals, which gave a very clear direction for Valley Sans. However the sans serif lettering is always uppercase.
+</p>
+
+<img src="valley-sans-moomin-archive-trollvinter.jpeg">
+
+<p>
+    To build a complete contemporary family, the lowercase and broader stylistic system were complemented with compatible historical models. The design team focused on late-1800s American modern gothic typefaces, chosen for their suitable warmth, practicality, and expressive charm, and also because of a surprising oblique connection to the Moomins.
+</p>
+
+<img src="valley-sans-island-cabin.jpeg">
+
+<p>
+    In the Finnish archipelago, where Jansson spent most summers, cargo crates and other branded pieces of driftwood have washed ashore over time. This inspired the idea of transatlantic flotsam, where distant typographic influences arrive by sea and settle into local visual culture, becoming part of the conceptual foundation of Valley Sans.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+    The result is a typeface rooted in heritage and storytelling, designed for clarity, rhythm, and usability across styles.
+</p>
+
+<img src="valley-sans-all-styles.jpeg">
+
+<p>
+    Valley Sans is delivered as a variable-weight family, covering styles from Thin to Black in both roman and italic. This structure provides a broad expressive range while keeping behaviour consistent across editorial and interface contexts.
+</p>
+
+<img src="valley-sans-character.jpeg">
+
+<p>
+    The family is currently developed for Latin-script use and is intended to support a wide range of contemporary brand and publishing needs in digital and print environments.
