About
Corpa Gothic revisits Guido Schneider's earlier design with a technically precise, constructed structure that retains expressive details drawn from hand-drawn geometric poster lettering. Despite its narrow proportions, the family reads comfortably in short to medium-length text as well as at display sizes. Nine style sets allow fine-grained customisation, including switching the default slanted italic to a true cursive form, while each font contains over 1,008 glyphs covering more than 220 Latin-based languages.
Classification
A narrow, constructed sans-serif with a pronounced grotesque base and geometric proportions, inspired by hand-drawn poster typefaces of the 1920s. The condensed structure and technical detailing place it firmly in the geometric grotesque tradition.
