Area specimen from Blaze Type

A 176-style grotesque system from Blaze Type spanning four widths, eleven weights and a full inktrap variant family, all available as variable fonts.

About

Eight sub-families run from Compressed to Extended, each available in standard and inktrap versions, with eleven weights from Hairline to Extrablack and matching italics throughout. The inktrap cuts introduce deliberate ink-trap notches at stroke junctions, giving a technical quality that reads well at both display and text sizes. The variable font format lets designers move fluidly across the weight and width axes within each subfamily.

Classification

A contemporary grotesque sans-serif with a distinct inktrap variant across all widths, spanning compressed through extended cuts in the manner of a workhorse display and text system.
