Rapida specimen from Typotheque

A grotesque sans-serif system from Typotheque offered in five weights with italics, a companion display subfamily called Rapidissima, and a variable font.

About

The family is structured around two subfamilies: Rapida, which includes italic cuts across all five weights, and Rapidissima, an upright-only companion intended for display use. A variable font option spans the weight axis, giving fine-grained control for screen and print applications. The system is suited to editorial and book work, as evidenced by its use in the ExEdícia book series.

Classification

Rapida presents as a contemporary grotesque sans-serif with a range of weights from Regular to Black, including italic variants and a variable font offering, typical of a workhorse grotesque system.
