GT Cinetype
Grilli Type · Mauro Paolozzi, Rafael Koch · 2015
A curveless sans by Mauro Paolozzi and Rafael Koch that revives the laser-engraved subtitling alphabet of cinema.
About
A seven-style family by Mauro Paolozzi and Rafael Koch, released in 2015 and built on a design engineered for a cinema subtitling machine. Grilli explain that the laser used to erase the film's colour layer could only move in straight lines, so Cinetype contains no curves. Available across Light, Regular and Bold with italics and a Mono cut, it suits motion captions, cinema-leaning identities and any design that wants the texture of laser-cut text.
Classification
Based on a cinema subtitling machine that used a laser to erase the colour layer of the film. Because the laser only moved in straight lines, the typeface contains no curves.
