Agipo
Radim Pesko · Radim Peško · 2014
An elementary grotesque by Radim Peško with two stylistic sets — southern (round) and northern (square) — that inflect the typeface like a regional accent.
About
Designed between 2011 and 2014, Agipo offers three weights with italics and three additional styles, all extended by northern and southern stylistic sets that swap in alternative characters and punctuation to gently shift the texture of text. The dual-set approach gives designers tonal range without changing the typeface's fundamentally plain character. It covers both Latin and Cyrillic scripts, and has been used in headlines for The New Yorker.
Classification
Described as an elementary sans serif with plain character; its neutral structure and stylistic alternates place it firmly in the grotesque tradition, with subtle regional inflections via its southern (round) and northern (square) character sets.
