Brandon Grotesque by Hannes von Döhren is a brand new take on the German geometric-style sans serif model that first became popular during the 1920s and ’30s. With its long ascenders and descenders, it recalls the more stylish and decorative typefaces of that genre, such as Erbar or Kabel. Brandon Grotesque makes sensible use of the compass and ruler: while its geometric forms were optically corrected for better legibility, its Black weight — a great performer in display sizes — has perfect circles for counters, which adds to its subtle retro charm. The rounded corners lend the typeface a softer look in large sizes. A modernist face with a warm feel, Brandon Grotesque is well suited for use in headlines as well as longer texts.
Each Rising Stars newsletter is different, but this month’s issue is more different than usual. We feature work from two designers that are new to MyFonts, as well as versatile families from two of our most productive foundries. We are introducing the first new typeface in decades from the living legend that is Mike Parker. And the biggest news is an extra-special collaborative font uniting hundreds of designers: Coming Together, a Font Aid project for Haiti.
