Delegate
November · 2024
A grotesque sans exploring the middle ground between cold European grotesks and warm American gothics, published by Commercial Type in 2024.
About
Sitting between the anonymity of European functional grotesks and the warmth of American gothic tradition, Delegate aims for the kind of invisibility that comes from carefully considered idiosyncratic details rather than blandness. It was designed with functionalism as both purpose and aesthetic, making it suited to text-heavy applications where personality should remain understated. Published by Commercial Type in 2024, it is the studio type for November's own website.
Classification
Delegate sits squarely in the grotesque sans-serif tradition, explicitly positioned between cold European grotesks and warm American gothics, drawing on anonymous functional grotesque models.
