Closer specimen from Mint Type

A Swiss grotesque with overclosed apertures and slightly wider-than-average proportions, available in nine weights with matching italics and seven stylistic sets for customisation.

About

Designed by Andriy Konstantynov and released in 2019, Closer sits between a strict Swiss grotesque and a more humanistic sans, with its wider letterforms and closed apertures lending it a distinct character without straying far from neutral territory. The family spans 18 styles across nine weights, each with a matching italic, and supports Latin and Cyrillic scripts with extensive language coverage. Seven stylistic sets allow considerable typographic flexibility.

Classification

A Swiss grotesque with overclosed apertures and slightly wider proportions than typical grotesques, incorporating humanistic details that soften its neutrality without departing from the grotesque genre.
