Swiss NG specimen from Contemporary Type

Ian Party's 132-style neo-grotesque, spanning six widths from Ultra Condensed to Ultra Expanded and eleven weights from Hair to Extra Black, with a variable font included in each bundle.

About

Swiss NG takes the structural logic of Univers and Unica as its starting point, extending the neo-grotesque tradition into a system of six width bundles, each containing 22 static styles and a dedicated variable font. The family is designed for consistency across editorial, UI and print contexts, with low contrast and calibrated proportions throughout. Released in November 2025 by Newglyph's Ian Party and distributed through Contemporary Type.

Classification

A neo-grotesque sans-serif drawing directly from the Univers and Unica tradition, maintaining the geometric restraint and structural clarity of mid-century Swiss grotesques while introducing subtle contemporary personality. Low contrast, rational construction and consistent rhythm across six widths confirm the classification.
