Nekst
Serebryakov Type Foundry · Denis Serebryakov · 2020
A geometric grotesque by Denis Serebryakov, awarded a Granshan Special Mention in 2022, that fuses early grotesque conventions with constructivist geometry across seven weights and a variable axis.
About
Released in 2020, Nekst covers Latin and Cyrillic scripts and spans Thin to Black, including a variable font. The design draws on industrial typography and constructivist logic, holding its austerity in tension with deliberate eccentric details beneath an otherwise Nordic silhouette. Stylistic alternates, case-sensitive forms and oldstyle figures extend its typographic range beyond pure display work.
Classification
Geometric grotesque that blends early grotesque conventions with contemporary sans-serif geometry, characterised by a restrained, austere construction with constructivist inflections and a variable axis spanning seven weights.
