About the family


PowerUp is a bold geometric display family inspired by the energetic logotype styles that helped define early video game culture. Drawing influence from classic arcade aesthetics and iconic platformer branding, PowerUp expands the spirit of those playful logotypes into a fully functional type family built for modern design work. The design celebrates the chunky geometric construction and condensed proportions often seen in classic gaming titles, while expanding the concept into a versatile character set that works across branding, posters, merchandise, game interfaces, streaming graphics, packaging, and digital media. PowerUp balances nostalgia with usability, transforming a recognizable visual language into a practical toolset for designers who want bold personality with strong legibility. The family includes five styles, Regular, Black, Shadow, Black Shadow One, and Black Shadow Two, allowing layered typographic effects that recreate dimensional logotype treatments often seen in arcade-era branding. The heavier styles create powerful headline typography, while the shadow layers can be combined for striking stacked compositions and energetic display graphics. Each style includes approximately 480 glyphs covering uppercase, lowercase, numerals, punctuation, symbols, and extensive multilingual Latin language support. With its playful geometry, condensed structure, and layered shadow options, PowerUp delivers a flexible toolkit for designers looking to inject energy, nostalgia, and bold visual impact into their work.

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.
