General Grotesque
A 32-style neo-grotesque superfamily that critiques its own category through high-waisted crossbars, early 20th-century constructed details and a backslanted reclined subfamily borrowed from 19th-century cartography.
About
Rather than reprising canonical 1950s neo-grotesques such as Helvetica, this family introduces moderately high-waisted crossbars on E, F and G alongside constructed forms on r, t, f, y and the numerals. The superfamily spans three subfamilies: a standard upright-and-italic set across eight weights, a Reclined variant drawing on 19th-century backslanted cartographic lettering, and a Mono cut sharing the same eight weights. OpenType alternates include single-storey a and g, an alternate y, oldstyle figures and a slashed zero.
Classification
Described explicitly as a reassessment of the neo-grotesque category, combining moderately high waisted crossbars with early 20th-century constructed letterforms and a nod to 19th-century backslanted cartography fonts.
