Eddi Grotesk
b•v-h type · André Baldinger & Toan Vu-Huu · 2025
A geometric-humanist grotesque by André Baldinger and Toan Vu-Huu, originally developed for the visual identity of a Swiss art school and released as a standalone variant of the Eddi family.
About
Developed from the Eddi typeface commissioned for ÉDHÉA, the Valais School of Art in Switzerland, Eddi Grotesk is a reinterpretation that pulls more explicitly from early sans-serif historical references while retaining the core formal vocabulary of its sibling. Four weights from Light to Heavy, each with an italic, cover a broad range of text and display applications. With 827 glyphs per style and extensive Latin language support, the family is built for serious typographic work across identity and editorial contexts.
Classification
The foundry describes it as a geometric-humanist linear grotesque, drawing on early historically rooted sans-serif aesthetics with careful attention to stroke endings, junctions and curvature balance.
