#24 Refrankt by Groteskly Yours
Q1: Where did the idea for the typeface come from? Did you set out to address a specific use or suite of the application? Was this a design you’d had in mind for a while?
Ans: Unlike our previous projects, we had a clear vision for Refrankt from the get-go. The idea was to design a type family that would be unmistakably futuristic but nonetheless retain the legibility that is associated with sans serif typefaces. Both the structure of the family and its character ensure that Refrankt is ready to address the challenges of the rapidly developing digital world. We think Refrankt is an excellent choice for projects that that require a typeface with contemporary aesthetics and functional design.
Q2: What should graphic communicators know about the typeface, or how will the family of fonts help them create better designs?
Ans: We believe designers will be pleasantly surprised by the versatility of Refrankt. The lighter weights feature minimal contrast and have an almost monolinear feel, while the bolder styles are more robust and distinctive. This range of styles is further expanded with the inclusion of a variable font that allows designers to fine-tune their designs and easily create complex typographic systems. Additionally, Refrankt supports multiple OpenType features that can be an invaluable tool for designers who value uniqueness and creativity.
