About
The text cut of Founders Grotesk, by Kris Sowersby, redrawn from the parent grotesque so it holds shape at body sizes. Five weights from Light to Bold across ten styles include true italics, with the same lineage of Miller & Richard's Grotesque series, Caslon's Doric and Helvetica's Halbfett headline cuts. Used as the workhorse text companion in brand and editorial systems where Founders Grotesk runs the headlines, with Condensed, X-Condensed and Mono extending the family.
Classification
Klim classifies it as Modern: Lineal/Grotesque; the text-sized cut of Founders Grotesk, with the same lineage as the wider family but tuned for body copy.
