Grilli Type: GT America

Independent Swiss type foundry Grilli Type have released GT America. 84 styles across six widths and seven weights, GT America connects American Gothic and European Grotesque typeface genres. Grilli Type say: “GT America is the missing bridge between 19th century American Gothics and 20th century European Neo-Grotesk typefaces. It uses the best design features from both traditions in the widths and weights where they function optimally.”

GT America is available exclusively at Grilli Type and on a purpose-built microsite, which demonstrates the functionality of the typeface including a character set overview and design features such as “stroke ending angles adjust to function optimally in each style”, “tapered stems help to avoid dark spots in tight corners” and “thinned stems and angled spurs achieve the same effect in lowercase letters b and p”.
