A grotesque sans-serif that introduces playful variation through OpenType stylistic sets and contextual alternates, sitting alongside the more ornamental Puerile Display as part of a shared family system.
About
Puerile Grotesque takes the rational structure of the modernist grotesque as its foundation, then opens that structure to experimentation via alternate letterforms accessible through OpenType features. The family relationship with Puerile Display is deliberate: where Display leans into ornament and decoration, Grotesque holds a more restrained position, making the two styles complementary rather than interchangeable. The result is a typeface that functions conventionally at its most familiar settings while offering designers a means to introduce character and tonal variation when required.
Classification
A grotesque sans-serif rooted in modernist typographic structure, with controlled proportions and functional stroke characteristics. The playful dimension is delivered through OpenType alternates and stylistic sets rather than departing from the grotesque genre itself.
