LL Brown Narrow
Lineto · Aurèle Sack · 2022
A narrow-proportion companion to LL Brown, Aurèle Sack's geometric sans rooted in Edward Johnston's London Underground lettering and Arno Drescher's Super Grotesk.
About
Released in spring 2022 alongside the Condensed cut, LL Brown Narrow extends the LL Brown superfamily into tighter proportions while retaining the geometric-humanist character that has made the parent family a fixture of fashion and corporate identity work. Six weights from Thin to Black each carry matching italics, and the broader superfamily covers Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew and Arabic through collaborations with specialist script designers. The family has been adopted by clients including Celine, Moncler and Coach, reflecting its consistent performance across luxury and retail contexts.
Classification
Rooted in the geometric sans tradition via Johnston Sans and Super Grotesk, LL Brown Narrow is a condensed-proportion companion to LL Brown with the same humanist-geometric character.
