Gustella Inline
TYPE BY · Thomas Thiemich · 2019
A reverse-contrast inline display face by Thomas Thiemich, part of the wider Gustella superfamily that draws on nineteenth-century Western wood type and Hippy-era lettering extremes.
About
One of four variants in the Gustella superfamily alongside Solid, Stripes and Boxed, the Inline cut applies an engraved channel to letters already defined by extreme stroke contrast. All four subfamilies share identical metrics, making overprinting a practical option for layered effects. Four weights from Thin to Bold come with extensive OpenType features including stylistic alternates, fractions, case-sensitive punctuation and full coverage of Latin-based Western, Central and East European languages.
Classification
Gustella Inline belongs to the reverse-contrast display tradition, with extreme stroke contrast derived from nineteenth-century slab and Western wood type, refined here with digital precision and an inline treatment.
