Swanstone Trial is a sans-serif font designed by Chuck Bigelow and Kris Holmes in the early 1990s. It was created specifically for use in the graphic and visual design industry, and has become a popular choice for branding and advertising campaigns. The font features a sleek, modern design with clean lines and rounded edges, giving it a friendly and approachable feel. The name 'Swanstone' is a reference to the Swanston building in San Francisco, where the font was first tested in a digital design experiment.
