A Swiss grotesque in 20 styles by Ian Party, designed as an affordable homage to mid-century modernist type tradition.
About
Part of Newglyph's SwissKnife collection, this family takes the formal conventions of Swiss grotesque typefaces as its starting point, offering a variable font alongside 20 discrete static styles. At 433 glyphs per style, it covers a broad sweep of Latin-based languages and includes standard punctuation, mathematical symbols and ligatures. Positioned as a quality-accessible entry point for designers who want the neutrality of the Swiss grotesque without a high licensing cost.
Classification
Explicitly modelled on Swiss grotesque typefaces in the modernist tradition, placing it squarely in the grotesque subcategory of sans-serif. The design draws on the formal conventions of mid-century Swiss type such as Helvetica and Univers.
