MT Archi specimen from Modern Type

A grotesque sans with an extra-low cap height engineered for tight line spacing and cap-heavy settings such as German-language architectural publications.

About

Designed by Ana Andreeva, Dalton Bruyns and Katie Fridman and released in 2024, MT Archi reduces cap height and extender lengths to allow for denser vertical rhythms without sacrificing legibility. Eleven weights from Super Hairline to Heavy each carry a matching italic, giving the family considerable range for publication work. The stated target is architectural publishing, where compact, structured setting is the norm.

Classification

The typeface presents as a grotesque sans-serif with a wide weight range; its extra-low cap height and extender lengths suggest a practical, architecturally influenced grotesque designed for dense text settings.
