Bastardo Grotesk specimen from Giulia Boggio

A contemporary grotesque spanning Thin to Black, defined by sharp diagonal cuts and tight counters that introduce tension into an otherwise sober, utilitarian structure.

About

Compact proportions and closed apertures produce a dense typographic rhythm, while angular cuts and diagonal terminals give each weight a precise, almost abrasive character. The family covers twelve styles from Thin to Black, each with a matching italic designed in collaboration with Matt Burvill. Kerning and spacing were handled by Igino Marini.

Classification

A contemporary grotesque with consistent vertical stress and minimal stroke contrast, distinguished by sharp angular cuts and diagonal terminals that give it an abrasive edge against otherwise sober proportions.
