ITS_SS-Grotesk specimen from Informal Type

A grotesque sans-serif by Erman Yılmaz, released in 2024 with two stylistic variants and a conceptual grounding in the tension between the ordinary and the strange.

About

Designed in conjunction with the photographic practice of Selim Süme, SS-Grotesk positions its letterforms in the ambiguous space the grotesque has always occupied: once alien, now commonplace. Two variants, Original and Alternate, offer different expressions of the same underlying tension. The Latin Extended character set covers 338 glyphs, distributed in OTF and WOFF formats.

Classification

A grotesque sans-serif with two stylistic variants (Original and Alternate), designed with deliberate tension between the familiar and the strange, placing it firmly in the grotesque tradition.
