Diagol Grotesk specimen from Kanon Foundry

A contrasted grotesque by Tor Weibull that draws on early 20th century American Gothic and Swiss grotesque traditions in 10 styles across 746 glyphs.

About

Diagol Grotesk sits at the intersection of warm, American Gothic letterforms and the rational discipline of mid-century Swiss grotesques. Visible stroke contrast sets it apart from strictly neutral grotesques, lending it character at both text and display sizes. The 10-style family supports 96 languages and is suited to continuous reading as much as headline work.

Classification

A contrasted grotesque drawing on both early 20th century American Gothic and Swiss grotesque traditions, placing it firmly within the broad grotesque sans-serif lineage. The visible stroke contrast and warm character distinguish it from the purely neutral Swiss genre.
