Reformation specimen from HEX

A digital revival of Stempel's 1904 Reform-Grotesk series, restructured across six widths from Extrawide to Compressed into a single coherent system.

About

Based on the Reform-Grotesk/Information type series that debuted at Stempel in 1904, this revival attempts to distil the stylistic range of an historically disparate series into a unified family without erasing its most distinctive traits. Six width variants span Extrawide through Compressed, giving the system considerable range for display and editorial use. The project is described as still in progress, suggesting ongoing refinement of the width relationships and character set.

Classification

A digital revival of the Reform-Grotesk/Information series first issued by Stempel in 1904, placing it firmly in the European grotesque tradition. The family spans multiple widths from Extrawide to Compressed, characteristic of early twentieth-century display grotesque systems.
