GS Quadrata specimen from GS-Type

An all-caps display slab that constrains every glyph to a square, pairing high contrast and brutalist structure with softened, filleted corners for a contemporary edge.

About

Each character in GS Quadrata is designed to occupy a square, giving the typeface a rigid, modular geometry that sits in tension with its organically rounded joins. The high stroke contrast and slab construction recall Far West wood-type lettering, while the filleted details introduce a distinctly modern sensibility. Released in 2019 and updated in 2020, it covers Basic Latin only and is available in a single style.

Classification

A high-contrast all-caps display typeface with slab serifs constructed on a square grid. The combination of brutalist slab construction with organic filleted corners places it firmly in the experimental display category.
