Part of Detail's ongoing Norm series, this 2024 neo-grotesque takes squarish, flat exteriors and compact narrow widths from the Univers tradition, resulting in chiselled characters with tight apertures across 20 styles.
About
Designed by Makoto Kamimura with Sam Fagnart, No. 15 is distinguished within the Norm collection by its closeness to the Univers series: flat, squarish outer forms produce a defined jawline on characters such as the capital G, while narrow proportions create tight apertures that give the letterforms a quiet resistance. Ten weights with matching italics cover the range from Thin to Super, sold exclusively as a complete 20-style family set.
Classification
A neo-grotesque informed by the Univers series, featuring squarish flat exteriors, compact narrow proportions and tight apertures that give characters a disciplined, slightly compressed tension.
