Petit Frère specimen from Plain Form

A 28-style sans-serif duo in two width extremes, Narrow and Wide, distilled from Plain Form's existing Grandmaster and Nostra Sett typefaces.

About

Rather than offering a conventional width range, Petit Frère skips a centre cut entirely, presenting only its two poles: a Narrow subfamily drawing on Grandmaster and a Wide one drawing on Nostra Sett. Each subfamily runs through seven weights from Extralight to Black with matching italics, totalling 28 styles. Both cuts share an extensive OpenType feature set including cross-style alternates, serif optionals for certain characters and tabular figures.

Classification

A sans-serif family presented in two width extremes, Narrow and Wide, without a centre cut, drawing on the grotesque tradition through related Plain Form designs Grandmaster and Nostra Sett.
