Typeface Design for Plan Grotesque
Eight numeral variants, one default of your choosing
Plan Grotesque Stencil is a display extension of Plan Grotesque, referencing the interrupted strokes found on railway wagons, wooden crates, and architectural diagrams. Stencil cuts emphasise stroke terminals, lending the face a crisp, playful quality suited to large signage and traditional print. The family spans normal and condensed widths, with true italics across all weights. Each weight ships with eight numeral variants—including old-style, tabular, superior, inferior, circled, and circled inverted—with the default style selectable at the point of licensing.
