Grot10
A contemporary reworking of Stephenson Blake's Sheffield-foundry Grotesque No.10, expanded across seven weights with condensed cuts originally commissioned for the RIBA Journal.
About
Drawn from the Stephenson Blake 'Grotesque No.10' as its principal source, this family carries the blunt, utilitarian character of the Victorian British grotesque tradition into a modern type system. Seven weights from Light to Black each have matching italics, while the Condensed subfamily, first cut for the RIBA Journal in 2013, brings tighter width options for magazine and editorial use. The family has since been extended with Semibold, Extrabold and Black to broaden its range for display and identity work.
Classification
A contemporary revival based on Stephenson Blake's Victorian-era Grotesque No.10, placing it firmly in the British grotesque tradition with the characteristic single-storey forms and blunt terminals of that lineage.
