A 32-style grotesque display family by Jonathan Hoefler, drawn on a boxing-inspired grid of widths and weights for headline systems.
About
A grotesque display family by Jonathan Hoefler, set out on a nineteenth century model where widths and weights were drawn independently rather than interpolated. The result is 32 styles, named for boxing weight classes from Flyweight to Sumo, that map out a complete headline system for newspapers, sports, editorial and identity. Hoefler treats the family as a kit for setting expressive, hierarchy-rich pages.
