A three-weight grotesque by Radim Peško, drawn with bold, lively forms rooted in late nineteenth-century anonymous sans serifs, and used on BBC News headlines.
About
Three weights with matching italics, each including tabular and proportional figures, give F Grotesk range across text and display settings. Its forms are deliberately bold and singular, drawing on the unnamed grotesques of the 1880s and 1890s without directly reviving any single source. Real-world use on BBC News headlines speaks to its credibility at large sizes in demanding editorial contexts.
Classification
Explicitly linked to late nineteenth-century anonymous sans serifs, placing it firmly in the grotesque tradition with a bold, lively contemporary interpretation.
