Typeface Design for Grato Grotesk

Nine weights engineered so stepping one weight lighter compensates for doubling type size

Grato Grotesk is a geometric sans-serif designed by Jakob Runge in 2021 as part of TypeMates' Geometric Suite. Built on pure forms with low stroke modulation, flat apexes, and angled terminals, it references the industrial logic of early German geometric typefaces while combining idiosyncrasy and warmth. The family spans nine weights from Hairline to Super and is available as a variable font, targeting identity and editorial applications. A companion optical size, Gratimo Grotesk, is engineered for text and interface legibility.
