Gurky Grotesque: A tribute to imperfection.

Gurky Grotesque is a type family consisting of 12 fonts, ranging from ExtraLight to Black. It is reminiscent of old metal type, favoring quirky imperfections over smooth curves. We went on a search for character and unique solutions to bring back the charm of vernacular type and the appeal of imperfection. In contrast to big type systems without irregularities, Gurky Grotesque embraces its inconsistencies and its edginess. It comes with a comprehensive character set, modern OpenType features, and variable fonts.

Our latest most wanted Gurky original comes with a unique voice and some terrific details. Use it for your next corporate design, poster and whatever needs a strong typeface.

More choices, more emotions.

Always ready for the unexpected: Big bold and powerful. The stronger weight of Gurky Grotesque were made to create attention and keep your eyes glued to the letters and their details. The lighter weights can also perform for longer texts and info materials — not losing any of its character.

The 18° italic angle

In addition to the six uppercase weights Gurky Grotesque comes up with six fitting italics. A powerful 18° angle and tweaks like the one-eyed-a, the sloppy-marathon-s or the ultra-dynamic-goggles-g are giving an even more energetic tonality to the type family.

Today’s Technology

It is important to us to manufacture type that is well equipped with a decent language support with all the features necessary for excellent typographic work. In addition to a range of weights, this includes diacritics and different sets of figures for all sorts of layout and document applications. Let’s take a look under the hood.

Edge

Alternates

Since the earliest days of metal type, there have been variations of the same letter in a font. For the past twenty years you can switch between such alternates by selecting them in the OpenType feature panel. The use of specific alternates may have a significant impact on the overall appearance of a typeface, e.g. changing from a two-storey g to its single-storey version.

the 1/8 idea

Fractions

When you typeset a slash between figures to separate denominators and numerators, OpenType will automatically create a proper fraction.

1127,11

3576,82

Tabular Figures

When figures are typeset in invoices, annual reports or any other table, you may want to use tabular figures. Unlike conventional proportional figures, all tabular figures have the same width, achieving a structured appearance in lists.

Height: 2.6 Pt

Oldstyle Figures

Lining or proportional figures tend to stand out in a long text, similar to the effect that ALL-CAPS typesetting has. It is useful to switch to old-style figures that have smaller shapes with ascenders and descenders (similar to lowercase letters) and therefore fit seamlessly in any text.

C2H5OH

Subscript

A subscript is a character that slightly sits below the baseline. They are used in formulas, mathematical expressions as well as in specifications of chemical compounds and isotopes, but may have many other uses as well. These characters are not simply ordinary characters reduced in size: to keep them visually consistent with the rest of the typeface, they are optically heavier than a proportionally scaled character.

Hello1 and Bye2

Superscript

A superscript is a character that slightly sits above the baseline. It has the same weight and size like a subscript character. They are also used in formulas, mathematical expressions and text references, but may have many other uses as well.
