A large grotesque family from Ludwig with three optical sizes, four width variants, small caps and a weight range from Fino to Black.
About
Polo spans an extensive range of subfamilies covering optical sizes at 11, 22 and 66, alongside Condensed, Compressed and Extracondensed widths and a dedicated Small Caps subfamily. Weights run from a hairline Fino through Extralight, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold and Black, with italics available across the standard and width variants. The scale of the system makes it well suited to publications and identity programmes that need consistent type across multiple contexts and sizes.
Classification
The family's structure, with optical sizes, condensed and compressed widths, and a broad weight range, is consistent with a contemporary grotesque or neo-grotesque sans-serif. The naming conventions and specimen copy suggest a neutral, text-capable workhorse in the grotesque tradition.
