Moore
Eliott Grunewald · Eliott Grunewald
A revival of the anonymous rounded display typeface used on a 1968 Henry Moore exhibition poster at the Tate Gallery, expanded into a full Latin-extended alphabet by Eliott Grunewald.
About
Developed in collaboration with Olivier Lebrun, the typeface traces its origins to a handful of letters found on a Tate Gallery poster from 1968 whose designer remains unknown. Grunewald reconstructed and extended the alphabet, preserving the original's deliberate inconsistencies in stroke weight between letters as a defining characteristic rather than correcting them. Its condensed proportions and rounded, modular forms suit short display settings at large sizes.
Classification
A condensed, rounded display typeface with a highly modular construction and deliberate weight variation between letters. Its origins in a 1968 exhibition poster give it a distinct vintage display character.
