Caryotype
Blaze Type · Vicente Granger · 2024
A single-weight bold display face by Vicente Granger, drawing its chunky geometric forms from the visual character of chromosomes as seen in karyotype imagery.
About
Designed by Vicente Granger and released in 2024, the typeface takes its name and visual cues from karyotypes, translating the dense, rounded forms of chromosome sets into a bold Latin display face. It covers Latin European languages and is offered in one weight, making it best suited to headlines, logotypes and short-form display copy where its retro-modern personality can carry the work. The generous, playful shapes also hold up at body text sizes, though the single weight limits its range.
Classification
A single-weight bold display face with chunky, rounded geometric forms inspired by karyotype chromosome imagery. The playful, experimental character and retro-modern shapes place it firmly in the display category.
