Gazet features a variety of OpenType features making it a versatile tool for all types of creative typesetting. A monocase feature makes even the tightest line spacing possible and contributes to the typefaces dense construction with very little white space.
A historical OpenType feature is a homage to the typefaces origin within the times of art nouveau and is present within the uppercase A, E, F and lowercase p and q.
The original »Bold Angled« style has been complemented by lighter weights, italics and an entire family with straight endings making it a versatile family for a wide variety of display usage. OpenType features such as a monocace feature allows tight line spacing and creative typesetting.
Gazet was created after Thomas John found some old metal letters of a typeface entitled »Zeitungs-Grotesk« by the Bauer foundry from 1906. He was immediately fascinated by its art nouveau influences such as the uppercase »A«, diagonal endings, dense construction and interconnection.
The Angled and Straight subfamilies create a clash between the old and new. Art nouveau meets modernism, sharp meets straight.
Gazet out now - the typeface consists of the two subfamilies Angled and Straight. The original Angled style features diagonal endings corresponding with the typefaces structure. The Straight subfamily is a rather neutral and more versatile take on the original Angled style due to its horizontal endings.
Our family grows. »Gazet« is a condensed superfamily consisting of 28 cuts ranging from Thin to Bold, with corresponding Italics and 500+ glyphs each - out now.
