Agipo
Font Review Journal · Radim Peško · 2014
Radim Peško's 2014 grotesque blends the compact utility of Franklin Gothic with geometric sensibilities, distinguished by flat 90° terminals and an anthropomorphic 'G' that gives it a mechanical yet playful character.
About
Sitting between Franklin Gothic and Futura on the grotesque spectrum, Agipo pairs a tall x-height and short descenders with flat, perpendicular terminals that resist distortion when stretched or compressed. Its uppercase leans geometric, with a splayed 'M' and a spurless 'G' by default, while the lowercase recalls classic utilitarian grotesques. The 90° terminals have made it a popular choice in Brutalist and expressive graphic design, where typefaces are routinely pushed and pulled without ceremony.
Classification
A grotesque sans-serif with geometric influences, sitting between Franklin Gothic and Futura. Characterised by 90° flat terminals, tall x-height and short descenders, with an idiosyncratic mix of mechanical and expressive details.
