About

The monospaced cut of Founders Grotesk, by Kris Sowersby, sharing the lineage of Miller & Richard's Grotesque series, H. W. Caslon's Doric and Helvetica's Halbfett headline cuts. Five weights from Light to Bold sit alongside the parent Founders Grotesk, Text, Condensed and X-Condensed cuts, with a slashed zero, fractions and capital forms in the OpenType set. Used widely in editorial captions, code blocks and brand systems where the mono needs to hold a conversation with a wider grotesque family.

Classification

Klim classifies it as Modern: Lineal/Grotesque Monospaced; the monospaced cut of Founders Grotesk, sharing the family's roots in Miller & Richard's Grotesque series, Caslon's Doric and Helvetica's Halbfett headline cuts.
