Artex
Optimo · Valentin Brustaux
A neo-grotesque variable system by Valentin Brustaux, spanning compressed to extended widths and hairline to black weights, engineered for static and motion use.
About
A neo-grotesque by Valentin Brustaux that takes the genre into variable-font territory. The programme runs from compressed to extended through six widths and from hairline to black through six weights, delivered as 72 static fonts plus variable formats. Modular and symmetrical construction keeps the curves clean during weight and width transitions, and each style includes 29 alternate glyphs, so the family suits motion graphics, identity systems and editorial work that needs to flex from text to display.
Classification
Optimo describes Artex as bringing the neo-grotesque programme into the realm of variable fonts, with simplified forms that temper strict geometry and modular, symmetrical construction tuned for transitions across widths and weights.
