Supernormale
A grid-based neo-grotesque with rounded corners, designed by reverse-engineering pixel font letterforms into smooth vector shapes.
About
Supernormale was developed by starting from pixel font letter shapes and then smoothing them into vectors, giving the typeface a modular, technical quality that retains the cultural memory of screen-based typography. The rounded corners soften its strict grid construction, making it usable for both display headlines and continuous text on screen or in print. Four styles cover Regular, Italic, Semibold and Bold, supplemented by eleven pixel fonts and an icon picture font, making it a self-contained system suited to corporate, IT and technical communications.
Classification
Described explicitly as a square sans neo-grotesque; its grid-based, modular construction with rounded corners places it firmly in the neo-grotesque tradition with a geometric-pixel influence.
