New Frank Italic
The italic companion to New Frank, a grotesque sans available in six weights with condensed and compressed variants.
About
Matching the upright New Frank in six weights from Thin to ExtraBold, these italics complete a family that extends across three widths: standard, Condensed and Compressed. The specimen copy leans heavily on transport and rail operators as use-case references, suggesting the family is oriented towards signage, wayfinding and functional editorial work. Clean and unshowy, it sits comfortably in contexts where legibility across weights matters more than personality.
Classification
New Frank is a grotesque sans-serif with condensed and compressed variants, following the tradition of gothic/grotesque industrial type. The italic cuts reinforce its functional, workhorse character.
