A variable grotesque sans from PS Type Lab positioned as the expressive sibling of their Scale typeface, with axes for weight and slant.
About
Close runs a variable weight axis from ExtraLight to Black and a slant axis for oblique variants, giving it considerable range across six named weights and their slanted counterparts. Alternate OpenType features include a spurless G, double-storey g, spur a, schoolbook a, crossbar I and diagonal forms for K, k, t and y, allowing some control over character personality. Its self-described 'loudmouth' character positions it toward display and headline use rather than text setting.
Classification
Described as the 'loudmouth cousin' of Scale, Close is a display-leaning grotesque sans with a variable weight axis and slant axis, suggesting a genre-aware grotesque with expressive range.
