Gruppo Due · Massimiliano Audretsch · 2024

About
Designed by Massimiliano Audretsch in 2024, this family spans three distinct sub-families — edgy, semi-round and round — each running across six widths from Compressed to Ultra-Expanded, all interchangeable by design. The two-axis variable font allows fluid transitions between width and corner treatment, making it well suited to large-format display and identity work where structural versatility matters. Its origins in a site-specific installation give it a spatial, performative character that sets it apart from off-the-shelf compressed grotesques.
Classification
A bold, compressed display sans-serif with formalist geometry, available in edgy, semi-round and round variants across multiple widths. The page explicitly frames it as a display sans with a technological rather than revivalist intent.
