Nat Grotesk specimen from ParaType

A compact, half-closed grotesque from Natalia Vasilyeva, released by ParaType in 2007, spanning 14 styles across two widths with Cyrillic support.

About

Nat Grotesk features simple, clear letterforms with compact proportions that make it space-efficient while retaining legibility at small sizes. The bold weights introduce increased stroke contrast, giving the family a slightly modern feel. Four weights with italics cover both standard and narrow widths, and the 2009 upgrade extended the character set.

Classification

A half-closed sans-serif with simple letterforms and compact proportions, consistent with the grotesque tradition. Increased contrast in bold weights adds a mild modern flavour.
