About
Designed by Ignacio Casco Guijarro and published in 2025, Best Single pushes back against the mechanical stiffness typical of monospaced designs by introducing calligraphic stroke endings drawn from early grotesque traditions. Nine preset weights run from Air to Black, each with a matching italic at a fixed 16-degree slant, and a variable font covers the full weight and slant axes continuously. An OpenType feature set switches between square, round, pentagonal and diamond dot shapes, extending its utility across editorial, signage and branding contexts.
Classification
A single-width (monospaced) typeface with geometric structure and calligraphic terminals, spanning nine weights with matching italics. Its fixed-pitch spacing places it firmly in the monospaced category despite influences drawn from early grotesques.
