About
Designed in 2018 as a homage to Armin Hofmann and the Swiss Style, this neo-grotesque runs across seven weights from Thin to Black, each with a matching italic. Stylistic sets applied to a broad set of letters including G, R, a, g, h, l, m, n, r, t, u and y allow the typeface to shift character and adapt to different visual languages. The family also includes Armin Soft, a companion with rounded terminals.
Classification
Designed as an homage to Swiss Style neo-grotesque typography, Armin Grotesk follows the clean, neutral conventions of the neo-grotesque tradition with stylistic alternates that allow for more eclectic expression.
