Lorimer No. 2

sans-serifgrotesquecondenseditalic

A 1950s-inflected grotesque with boxy curves, slanted terminals and a charming x-height that resists neutrality in favour of character.

About

Built around narrow letters and tight spacing, it is well-suited to headlines, bottle labels and cover designs where large names must fit compressed formats. Five weights with italics span headline to long-copy use across two widths, regular and condensed, giving the family considerable range. A companion stencil cut extends it into display territory with a matching decorative option.

Classification

A mid-century-inflected grotesque sans with boxy curves and slanted terminals, placing it in the broader grotesque tradition with distinctive personality rather than neutrality.
