sans-serifgrotesqueitalic
A 16-style grotesque by Sébastien Sanfilippo that injects 19th-century eccentricity into a sturdy, versatile sans suited to both text and display work.
About
Designed by Sébastien Sanfilippo and released in 2023, Mint Grotesk runs eight weights from Thin to Heavy, each with a matching italic, totalling 16 styles across 550 glyphs. Its character comes from period-inflected details that give it personality without sacrificing legibility at smaller sizes. A companion Display family extends the system for more expressive, large-scale use.
Classification
A no-nonsense grotesque sans-serif with deliberate 19th-century quirkiness, placing it clearly in the grotesque tradition rather than the cleaner geometric or humanist camps.
