Adapt
Writtenshape · Raphaël de La Morinerie
A Swiss-modernist neo-grotesque with calm proportions and subtle nods to 19th-century American sans-serifs, suited to long-form text and signage alike.
About
Designed by Raphaël de La Morinerie, Adapt draws on Swiss modernist tradition while introducing tubular angled terminals on glyphs such as J, f and t that recall early American sans-serifs. Ample capital proportions and increased contrast in the bolder weights give the family a measured vintage character without undermining its legibility at text sizes. Seven weights from Thin to Black cover everyday editorial and wayfinding work, and a PDF specimen details the layout-oriented OpenType features.
Classification
Described explicitly as a neo-grotesque inspired by Swiss modernist typography, with tubular angles on certain glyphs referencing 19th-century American sans-serif typefaces.
