Astrid Grotesk is a normalized version of Schizotype Grotesk. Normalized; not neutralized. Where many neo-grotesks appear cold with their harsh neutrality, Astrid has a warmth, eminating from its (for want of a better word) clunkiness.
These upright styles represent the second instalment, adding the condensed styles to the mix.
Customers who got on board early with Astrid Grotesk get the updates for free, and those who purchase the full family now will receive the italic styles for free when they're released.
Astrid Grotesk, while being clearly a neo-grotesk in appearance, has a personality all of its own.
Standout characters include the f and t, and the default binocular g, unusual in neo-grotesks.
And the right angled terminals on c, e and s. Stylistic sets offer up alternate forms of a, g, y, I, @, dutch IJ, german eszett and l.
A full complement of numerals is included: proportional and tabular, lining and oldstyle, plus fractions, subscript and superscript.
Note also that the tabular figures (along with currency symbols) are duplexed across weights - very useful when highlighting specific entries in tables.
The tabular numerals feature also substitutes in fixed width (across all weights) comma and period, so your decimals line up perfectly always.
Lastly, case sensitive forms of certain glyphs are included for all-cap settings.
This typeface will be useful for corporate identities and branding work. Its spaced more for text settings in the normal width, and gets more display-optimized as the width decreases, but with careful tracking, all styles can sing at display sizes.
Bored of those other Swiss style typefaces? Astrid Grotesk could be the face you need to breathe new life into your designs.
Coupled with Schizotype Grotesk, its more eccentric cousin, you've got an unorthodox branding system ready to use straight out of the box.
