A large grotesque sans spanning six widths and nine weights, named after the Catalan poet and visual artist Joan Brossa.
About
Running from Condensed to X-Wide across nine weights from Thin to Black, Brossa offers an unusually broad typographic palette within a single family. Each width comes with a full set of italics, giving designers considerable flexibility across print and screen contexts. OpenType features include case-sensitive forms, ordinals, slashed zero and four stylistic sets.
Classification
Brossa is a sans-serif with a broad width axis spanning Condensed to X-Wide, consistent with the grotesque tradition. The extensive weight and width range, combined with the absence of decorative or humanist features, places it firmly in the grotesque sans category.
