Gregory Grotesk

Gregory Grotesk by Jakob Runge at German foundry TypeMates is a 24-style geometric grotesque: eight weights across Normal, Condensed and Compressed widths. It began as a detour while Runge was finishing the Gregory serif, sketching how its quirky proportions would behave without serifs. Instead of today's sharp ink traps it borrows from 19th-century wood type, with soft anti-ink traps where strokes meet, which keeps even the narrowest cuts full of character. Top-heavy capitals like G and R give it poster presence, stylistic sets add a straight-legged R, single-storey a, double-storey g and pointing manicules, and it supports pan-European Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.
