About the family


Aspire SmallCaps is a bold all-caps geometric automotive sans inspired by the sleek chrome logotypes found on classic performance vehicles. Built as a companion to the Aspire family, this version embraces the powerful presence of all-capital letterforms while incorporating true small caps to create a flexible typographic system for modern branding and display design. The design draws from the precision and mechanical elegance of automotive wordmarks while evolving those influences into a contemporary type family suited for technology branding, gaming graphics, sci-fi interfaces, and industrial identity systems. Clean geometric construction, engineered curves, and distinctive angled stencil cuts give Aspire SmallCaps a confident and technical character that remains highly legible across a wide range of applications. The family includes six styles covering three weights and matching obliques, Light, Light Oblique, Regular, Oblique, Black, Black Oblique. Each font includes an extended multilingual Latin character set with capitals, small caps, numerals, punctuation, symbols, and stylistic alternates that remove the stencil cuts for a more neutral typographic tone when needed. Aspire SmallCaps delivers a powerful all-caps voice for designers seeking a modern techno sans with strong automotive heritage and bold branding presence.

About Grype

Grype began as a grunge type outfit for a short-lived time under the independent designer Charles Leroux. It was acquired by Astigmatic (AOETI) in 2016 and has since transitioned under the team of Brian J. Bonislawsky and Jim Lyles into a type foundry that produces font families inspired by corporate, band, and other logotypes and branding. And we still have retained some of the early pepperings of grunge typography from the library to boot.Grype expands on branding logotypes and makes them into full fledged type identity kits.
