The Aktiv Grotesk family is a 21st century interpretation of a grotesque sans typeface. It takes an authoritative but neutral position, lending your message support, without overpowering it.

More Grotesque fonts have been hugely popular over the last fifty years, with designers and font-users choosing them for their neutrality, contemporary feel, utilitarianism, and seriousness; these are fonts which can be applied in a broad range of contexts and media.

Aktiv Grotesk is therefore an ideal choice for branding exercises which require a diverse use of type, or where quiet authority is needed.

Unlike many other grotesque font families, Aktiv Grotesk was specifically designed to stay true to the grotesque tradition.

You will find that Aktiv Grotesk pairs well with robust serif fonts, such as the Cordale, Kings Caslon, and Lexia font families.

The Standard Edition font includes a complete Latin Extended A character set, but please see the Corporate Edition for a character set including Latin, Greek and Cyrillic alphabets.

Madpakke is a kind of portable lunch.

Acme Gothic (2018) is based on the thick and thin gothic lettering style popular in the U.

S. in the first half of the twentieth century. There have been typefaces in this genre before, but they were either too quirky (Globe Gothic), too English (Britannic), too Art Deco (Koloss), too modern (Radiant), or too Art Nouveau (Panache).

None captures the plain, workman-like style of Acme Gothic. There are five widths (Compressed, Condensed, Normal, Wide, and Extra wide) each with five weights (Light, Regular, Semibold, Bold, and Black) for a total of 25 different styles.

Acme Gothic has extensive language support, covering most Latin-based writing systems.

Acme Gothic also includes both small caps and raised small caps (accessed through an OpenType stylistic set) both of which can be found in vintage examples of this lettering style.

TT Nooks is an experimental font family that includes a high contrast serif, TT Nooks, and an upright italic, TT Nooks Script.

Despite the difference in style, both subfamilies get along well, which is partially thanks to their similar proportions.

Each of the subfamilies includes 4 weights: Light, Regular, Bold and Black. The main subfamily is TT Nooks—a stylish high-contrast serif with a light touch of self-centeredness.

If TT Nooks were a person, it would be an elegant lady with an independent and firm personality.

In the original sketches of TT Nooks there were traces of a broad pen, but in the course of further evolution the typeface moved away from this style, retaining only the high contrast of strokes.

In addition, in the process of design searches TT Nooks has obtained a touch of geometricity.

The serifs in TT Nooks stand out especially visibly thanks to their geometric shape that resembles slippers.

In addition to their peculiarity, such serifs add stability to the font and allow better compensation of the black and white ratio within the letters.

TT Nooks has small capitals for Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, as well as a set of stylistic alternates (including some figures) that makes the typeface a bit more geometric.

In addition, we have drawn more than 25 ligatures, including ligatures for capital letters, slashed zero and many other useful OpenType features.

TT Nooks Script is a complementary family designed to harmoniously extend the main family and expand its scope.

The forms of the characters in bold and light fonts of TT Nooks Script are quite different.

For example, Black & Bold have high contrast strokes and an open aperture, and in Regular & Light the aperture of the characters is closed.

TT Nooks also has small capitals for Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, ligatures, oldstyle figures and other OpenType features.

In light faces, TT Nooks Script is more humanist and has artifacts inherent to the continuous movement of a flat pen.

In bold faces, TT Nooks Script has a very dense and dynamic typing rhythm, and the shape of the letters begins to geometrize.

We had had the difficult task of preserving the continuity of forms between bold and light faces, and we have managed to solve it thanks to the found rhythm, which united different fonts, and proximate stylistic solutions.

Gramatika shapes and styles are consistently tailored to each character to customized to meet this classic grotesque-ish contemporary style.

By offsetting the balance and flexibility, Gramatika established to create alternative communications for current trends and consists of several weights including Light to Black, equipped with Latin Pro, Cyrillic, and Greek language support.
