A slightly narrow grotesque from Makoto Kamimura's ongoing Norm series, distinguished by angled finials and gently curving tails that give letterforms a measured, unhurried quality.
About
Where most grotesques cut finials parallel to the baseline for a clean, neutral finish, Norm No. 6 shaves them at an angle and lets tails and descenders extend with a loose, considered arc. The slightly narrower character widths reinforce this sense of deliberate restraint, producing a texture that is soft and unhurried without tipping into casualness. The family spans ten weights with matching italics, sold exclusively as a complete 20-style set.
Classification
A modern grotesque with deliberately irregular finials cut at angles rather than parallel to the baseline, and slightly narrow character widths that produce a soft, fluid texture. The design belongs to Detail's ongoing Norm series, which systematically explores grotesque variation through distinct aesthetic and historical premises.
