Dilemma Sans specimen from Sudtipos

The sans half of the Dilemma system, a 21-style workhorse grotesque across three widths and seven weights, built to pair with Dilemma Serif.

About

Dilemma Sans reimagines anonymous early-1900s Peignot Foundry designs as a contemporary grotesque, sold as the sans counterpart to Dilemma Serif with which it shares proportions and spacing. Seven weights across Condensed, Regular and Expanded widths cover everything from economical condensed text to opulent expanded display, and the complete Dilemma family adds a variable format.

Classification

Inspired by anonymous early-1900s Peignot Foundry designs (Polyphème, Cyclopéen, Extra Condensé), built as a grotesque half of a paired sans/serif system rather than a standalone family.
