About

The condensed cut of Parry Grotesque, designed by Artur Schmal as a sans-serif companion to the Parry serif family. Sixteen styles span UltraThin to ExtraBlack with full italic coverage, making it serviceable across corporate identity, magazine work and large-format advertising. Its Victorian DNA lends a mild eccentricity that keeps it from being entirely neutral.

Classification

Described as rooted in Victorian-era quirky grotesques, this is a condensed sans-serif companion to Parry, fitting squarely within the grotesque tradition despite its contemporary execution.
