A Neo-Grotesque family in nine weights with a matching stencil companion, drawing on 20th-century grotesque sources and '90s acid house flyer aesthetics to produce something with genuine personality.
About
Rooted in Gothic No. 124, Times Gothic and Modern Gothic, Macan delivers a clean Neo-Grotesque base with a wide weight range and extensive OpenType features including a large set of discretionary ligatures and 15 stylistic sets. Its Stencil companion reframes the functional bridge of traditional stencil letterforms as decorative ornament, taking cues from Keedy Sans and the whimsical type found on Wicked Sound System promotional material. Both subfamilies share identical character widths, making them directly interchangeable, and the collection extends to Hebrew and Thai for broad multilingual use.
Classification
Macan draws directly from 20th-century Grotesque sources (Gothic No. 124, Times Gothic, Modern Gothic) and positions itself as a Neo-Grotesque; its stencil companion adds ornamental bridges inspired by rave-era type but the core family is firmly within the grotesque sans tradition.
