Grato Grotesk is the modernist of the Geometric Suite. A resolute typeface with flat apexes and no-nonsense angled terminals, it combines a clean, contemporary aesthetic with idiosyncrasy and warmth.

Ignoring most calligraphic conventions, Grato is shaped by pure forms, low stroke modulation and square dots that contrast with almost perfect circles. Grato Grotesk takes that core and pursues the industrial logic of early German geometric typefaces. The result is a typeface of quirks and clarity, a substantial family for identity and editorial work.

With a spectrum of nine weights, from fine Hairlines to super heavy Blacks, Grato can organise complex typographic hierarchies with ease. A bonus is that Grato’s weight gradation allows users to maintain stroke weight while doubling type sizes: just use the next lighter weight for the larger size.

OpenType features ensure Grato is adaptable. First stylistic set activates more legible letter variants, while the stylistic set embraces a fundamentalist approach to geometry. Grato has what you need to organise data into information. Subscripts, fractions plus oldstyle and lining figures, each in proportional and tabular widths; a complete range of figure sets.

Carefully engineered, Grato is a long-lasting companion for those who value diverse language support and strong screen performance. Including Vietnamese, Grato supports more than 270 languages across the Greek, Cyrillic and Latin alphabets and its glyphs has been carefully reviewed by skilled consultants. For best on-screen performance, all TrueType files for web and desktop have been improved with manual hinting.

The Grotesk is available in two optical sizes. If you need less geometry and more legibility, Gratimo Grotesk is engineered for text and interface design.
