Oceanic Grotesk specimen from Interval Type

A mid-20th-century modernist grotesque designed as a sans companion to the Oceanic serif families, sharing identical vertical metrics for mixed-setting use.

About

Built to sit alongside Oceanic and Oceanic Text, this grotesque takes a neutral, modernist stance rather than echoing the high-contrast fat face character of its serif counterparts. Six weights run from Light to Poster with matching italics across 12 styles, and a variable font is included in the full family purchase. Extended Latin and Cyrillic coverage makes it broadly serviceable for European and Eastern European work.

Classification

The foundry describes it as drawing on mid-20th-century modernist typography with neutrality and simplicity as core values, placing it squarely in the grotesque tradition.
