Tiny Gothic

Optimo · François Rappo

sans-serifgothic
Tiny Gothic specimen from Optimo

François Rappo's gothic sans inspired by metal-era punchcutters' tricks for legibility at tiny sizes, with stylistic sets that shift its mood.

About

Tiny Gothic borrows the solutions punchcutters used to keep type readable at minute sizes: open forms, generous details and a lively rhythm. It is warm and practical in text, and its stylistic sets move it between expressive and rational. A set of pictograms comes with it.

Classification

A sans-serif typeface in the American gothic tradition, characterised by uniform stroke weight and the functional, utilitarian aesthetic associated with nineteenth-century wood type gothics. The name and specimen usage reinforce its affiliation with the condensed gothic genre.
