Joie Grotesk
An 18-style grotesque sans with early 19th-century references and a suite of stylistic alternates for adjusting its character.
About
Nine weights from Thin to Black, each with a matching italic and a variable font axis, give the family considerable range for editorial, branding and packaging work. Over a dozen stylistic sets allow fine-grained control of the warmth introduced by historical grotesque details, including single-storey a, triple-storey g and hook variants on d, l and u. The 750-plus glyph count covers Latin Extended with oldstyle figures, case-sensitive forms, discretionary ligatures and full fraction support.
Classification
A clean grotesque sans-serif drawing on early 19th-century grotesque conventions, with optional quirky alternates accessible via stylistic sets that soften its otherwise harmonious neutrality.
