displayhigh-contrast grotesque
Margo+Beuys specimen from Giulia Boggio

A single-weight, high-contrast display grotesque with hairline horizontals and heavy verticals that evoke the tension of letterpress poster printing.

About

Thick verticals set against near-hairline horizontals push stroke contrast to an extreme, producing a cut-out quality suited to headline and advertising use. The design includes a full Latin character set, basic Cyrillic coverage and alternate stylistic sets intended for statement graphics. With 625 glyphs and only one weight, the family is deliberately focused rather than versatile.

Classification

A display-weight grotesque with extreme stroke contrast – thick verticals against hairline horizontals – placing it in the tradition of poster and placard grotesques rather than conventional text sans-serif.
