Girott specimen from Radim Pesko

A compressed, subtractive sans-serif in two weights, designed by Radim Peško between 2012 and 2016 with Latin and Cyrillic support.

About

Girott's forms are defined by a subtractive approach, as though shapes have been cut away rather than drawn, resulting in a tightly compressed grotesque suited to headline work. Available in Regular and Bold, the family covers both Latin and Cyrillic scripts. It has been used in headlines for Best of The Atlantic, suggesting an editorial aptitude for display settings.

Classification

Described as a subtractive typeface with compressed shapes, placing it within the grotesque sans-serif tradition but with a distinctly geometric, cut-form character. The compression and subtractive construction distinguish it from conventional grotesques.
