FH Giselle specimen from Typografische

A geometric sans-serif in six weights that pairs classical grotesque structure with angular cuts and deep ink traps referencing 19th-century French Antiques.

About

FH Giselle sits within the geometric sans-serif tradition but departs from pure neutrality through deliberate angular incisions and pronounced ink traps, lending it a restrained yet distinctive character. Six weights from Light to Black provide a practical editorial range. The design positions itself as a contemporary reinterpretation of French Antique grotesques rather than a revival, balancing structural discipline with expressive detail.

Classification

A geometric sans-serif drawing on classical 19th-century French Antique grotesque traditions, distinguished by angular cuts and deep ink traps that push it beyond strict neutrality into expressive territory.
