GT Flaire
Grilli Type · Reto Moser · 2024
A calligraphically informed sans-serif in 28 styles, translating the pressure curves of an ink pen into a digital typeface designed to balance professional weight with expressive warmth.
About
Designed by Reto Moser and released in 2024, GT Flaire is built around the pronounced curves that a calligraphic pen produces under pressure, giving its letterforms an organic quality rarely found in corporate sans-serifs. The family is split into two subfamilies, Basic and Extra, each running through seven weights from Light to an additional Extra cut, all with matching italics. Grilli position it as a typeface that bridges seriousness and playfulness, supported by OpenType features including stylistic alternates and framed letter sets.
Classification
GT Flaire draws from calligraphic pen forms, giving it the organic curves and stroke contrast typical of humanist sans-serifs rather than geometric or grotesque lineage.
