MegaMegaTypeType
A geometric sans from the world of 1920s Dutch post-office graphics, rigorous in form and playful in its alternates.
About
Gerrit grew out of N. P. de Koo's typography for the Dutch PTT and the geometric capitals of the period, in the company of Paul Schuitema and Wilhelm Deffke. Eight weights with italics and a variable version come with antique forms, block and vertical ligatures and a double-storey a, so it can sit clean and modern or lean into its constructivist roots.
