Practical Grotesk
sans-serifgrotesqueitalic
A workhorse grotesque spanning ten weights from Hairline to Black, each with a matching italic, suited to editorial and identity work.
About
Twenty styles cover a broad weight range from Hairline through to Black, with italic companions throughout. The specimen text draws on Swiss place names and French-language settings, suggesting the typeface is at home in multilingual European contexts. Its straightforward grotesque construction keeps it practical across print and screen without asserting a strong personality of its own.
Classification
The name and specimen text referencing Swiss place names point squarely to the grotesque tradition. The wide weight range from Hairline to Black with matching italics is consistent with a workhorse grotesque family.
