Apfel Grotezk
Collletttivo · Luigi Gorlero · 2019
A round, airy grotesque with an exaggerated x-height, notable for its lower-ink-consumption variant Brukt developed with SPRINT.
About
Designed by Luigi Gorlero and released in 2019, this five-style family draws on neo-grotesque and geometric traditions while leaning into a friendlier register through soft curves and a generous x-height. The Brukt sub-family introduces cut-outs of varying shapes and sizes to reduce ink coverage in print, developed in collaboration with SPRINT. Available under the SIL Open Font License, it covers Latin with broad accented character support.
Classification
Described by the foundry as inspired by neo-grotesque and geometric typefaces, with easy curves and an exaggerated x-height, placing it at the intersection of those two traditions.
