Klaus specimen from Monkey Type

A slightly wide rationalist grotesque from MNKY Type, balancing classic grotesque and geometric with low contrast and orthogonal terminals, suited to generous large-scale settings.

About

Klaus occupies a deliberate position between classic grotesque and geometric, its slightly wide proportions lending a grounded, unhurried character. Low contrast and orthogonal terminals keep it disciplined across nine weights from Thin to Black. A variable version alongside 18 static styles makes it adaptable for display and editorial work where spacing can breathe.

Classification

Rationalist grotesque with geometric influences. Slightly wide proportions, low contrast and orthogonal terminals. Designed for large-setting display use; avoids the narrower proportions of more utilitarian grotesques.
