Typeface Family for Print and Web
Three scripts, three designers, one coherent grotesque
Plan Grotesque is a multi-script grotesque family designed by Nikola Djurek (Latin), Peter Biľak (Greek), and Gayaneh Bagdasaryan (Cyrillic), with Igino Marini credited as contributor across all three scripts. Released by Typotheque in 2010, it refines the traditional grotesque model with closing terminals, subtly modulated strokes, and a true italic—unlike grotesques of the previous century. The family spans text and stencil variants, normal and condensed widths, and eight numeral styles per weight.

Insights
- Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts were each handled by a dedicated designer, with a single contributor credited across all three.
- Closing terminals distinguish Plan Grotesque from 20th-century grotesques while maintaining a functional, text-ready texture.
- The stencil variant foregrounds industrial character for display contexts, separating that register from the text version.
- Users can set their own default numeral style at licence time, choosing among eight variants including tabular, old-style, superior, inferior, circled, and circled inverted.
