Über die Schriftfamilie Gridiot


Gridiot is a constructed, semi-serif, two-weight stencil family that expands an approach taken by Josef Albers. Intended for display or headline setting, it features chamfered or bevel-cut corners, used instead of curves. The individual letter components sometimes vary in depth, avoiding a strictly modular approach, while the widths are kept consistent. The lining figures provide a standard set of numbers, and the oldstyle figures align with the lowercase, encouraging lowercase-only setting. Currency and other useful numerical symbols are provided in both versions. The zero is intentionally lighter, following early Renaissance types; there are filled versions as stylistic alternates. While horizontal scaling distorts the relationship between verticals and horizontals in a typeface, since every chamfer in Gridiot is at 45°, changing the horizontal scaling of the type will affect all diagonals equally. When used at a large size, or for a just few words, Gridiot can be very tightly spaced. Remember, any idiot can design a typeface on a grid: Gridiot.

Über Peter Bain

This personal foundry of typographic expert Peter Bain took the place of his Incipit foundry in 2011. Incipit was closed, and Bain continues his interest in both the history and practice of letterforms. He has written for Eye magazine, lectured for Type@Cooper, and led a non-traditional blackletter workshop for ATypI. His design studio has also explored diverse scripts such as Cyrillic, Armenian, and Hebrew.
