Grota
Latinotype · Daniel Hernández, Ely Hernández · 2013
A unicase grotesque with six weights and matching italics, drawing on hand-lettering gestures for an expressive character suited to display use.
About
Grota's unicase construction gives it a distinctive personality within the grotesque genre, blending upper and lower letterforms to create an informal, gestural rhythm. The six weights from Thin to Black, each with a matching italic, make it flexible across headlines, logos and editorial contexts. Its hand-lettering origins lend warmth to what might otherwise be a conventional sans-serif structure.
Classification
A unicase grotesque with gestural, hand-lettering influences. The unicase structure and expressive stroke quality set it apart from conventional grotesques.
