Grotesco specimen from Latinotype

A South American grotesque in 20 styles that layers American grotesk functionality with alternate character sets aimed at logo and branding work.

About

Designed by Luciano Vergara and published in 2021, Grotesco covers ten weights from Thin to Heavy, each with a matching italic. Two alternate glyph sets introduce expressive variation suited to display contexts such as logos and advertising. Cyrillic support and currency symbols were added with contributions from Alfonso García.

Classification

A Latin American interpretation of the American grotesque tradition, with standard grotesque features including moderate stroke contrast and compact proportions, enlivened by alternate character sets intended for display use.
