À propos de la famille


Mercurial is a geometric sans serif family rooted in the sleek technical logotypes that became prominent across automotive and industrial branding during the late twentieth century. While many chrome automobile emblems and technology brands adopted squared geometric lettering during the 1980s and 1990s, Mercurial traces its origins even earlier, evolving from a digitization of the early 1970s LetterGraphics film typeface known as “Sam”. This historical influence gives Mercurial a familiar industrial and technical tone reminiscent of classic automotive badges and Swiss-inspired geometric typography, while the expanded family structure transforms the original concept into a modern, flexible design system. The result is a type family that feels both nostalgic and contemporary, equally suited to branding, editorial design, packaging, signage, interface design, and technology-focused visual systems. Mercurial expands a single historical weight into a full typographic system consisting of three widths, Narrow, Regular, and Wide, each containing five weights, Light, Book, Regular, Medium, and Bold. This structure provides designers with a wide range of typographic contrast, from tightly compact headlines to broader, more open display settings. Each font includes approximately 396 glyphs covering uppercase, lowercase, numerals, punctuation, symbols, and extended multilingual Latin language support. With its automotive-inspired geometry, balanced proportions, and expanded family range, Mercurial offers a powerful solution for designers seeking a modern geometric sans that bridges technical precision and retro industrial character.

À propos 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.
