About
Rooted in the tradition of wooden letterpress Block Berthold type, Brock Pro adapts those historical proportions for contemporary design workflows. Twenty styles across ten weights from Hairline to Ultra give it considerable range for both text and display settings. An extensive OpenType feature set includes old-style figures, stylistic alternates, fractions and case-sensitive forms.
Classification
Brock Pro draws from 19th-century wooden letterpress grotesque tradition, specifically Block Berthold, with even stroke weight and a sturdy, upright character typical of display grotesques. The wide weight range and italic variants give it a contemporary sans-serif feel.
