A contemporary grotesque in six weights with italics, drawing on late 19th-century designs for a clean, optically balanced text face.
About
Woolworth takes cues from the grotesques of the late 19th century, refined into a 12-font family spanning six weights with matching italics. Alternate forms for lowercase a, e and g, along with seven numeral variants, small caps and ligatures, give it enough flexibility for considered typesetting. Language support covers Western, Southern and Central European Latin, and version 2.0 was released in 2022.
Classification
Explicitly described as a contemporary grotesque inspired by late 19th-century grotesque designs, with handcrafted warmth typical of the humanised grotesque subcategory.
