About
Canon Grotesque draws on the visual language of early 20th-century grotesques, combining a compressed form with tight spacing and round-sided construction suited to large-scale display work. Wide alternates for round-shaped characters introduce rhythmic variation within settings, offering a shift in tempo across compositions. The family includes a Thai companion, Canon Grotesque Thai, extending its character to a second script.
Classification
