Closer Text
Mint Type · Andriy Konstantynov · 2019
A narrower, text-optimised companion to the Closer family, offering nine weights with italics, overclosed apertures and seven stylistic sets for extensive customisation.
About
Closer Text tightens the proportions of the original Closer grotesque, making it better suited to continuous reading. Overclosed apertures give it a distinctive Swiss character, whilst humanistic letterform details prevent it from feeling entirely anonymous. Seven stylistic sets allow fine-grained control over its appearance, and the family extends to Cyrillic alongside broad Latin coverage.
Classification
A Swiss grotesque with overclosed apertures and humanist touches, placing it firmly in the neo-grotesque tradition while borrowing enough from humanist sans conventions to soften its neutrality.
