Mallory
Frere-Jones · Tobias Frere-Jones
A 110-style grotesque by Tobias Frere-Jones spanning five widths and two optical subfamilies, including a MicroPlus cut built for small-size legibility.
About
Mallory is an expansive grotesque sans designed by Tobias Frere-Jones, structured across Standard and MicroPlus subfamilies with widths running from regular through Compact, Narrow, Condensed and Extra Condensed. Eight weights from Thin to Ultra are paired with italics throughout, and variable fonts are available across both subfamilies. The MicroPlus cuts are specifically engineered for demanding small-text conditions, making the family as practical at caption size as it is at display scale.
Classification
Mallory sits in the grotesque sans tradition, with a large family spanning multiple widths and optical sizes including a MicroPlus cut optimised for small text, characteristic of utilitarian grotesque design refined for demanding environments.
