Frontliner Font Family is a robust family of grotesque-style sans serifs, designed specifically for editorial design. Its name reflects its suitability for headlines and impactful text settings. The typeface is primarily monolinear, with letterforms that are slightly wide and semi-extended. Terminals are cleanly cut on the horizontal or vertical, while square dots on letterforms and punctuation add to its structured, geometric appearance. Frontliner features a consistent top alignment, where the cap-height, ascender height, and numeral height all match, and its lowercase letters boast a tall x-height. Despite its wide forms, the typeface’s closed counterforms give it a compact and balanced feel, particularly suited for dense text settings. The lowercase ‘a’ stands out with a distinctive out-stroke, adding character to the overall design.
Frontliner includes 12 styles, split between 6 uprights and 6 italics, as well as 2 variable fonts with a weight axis that spans from thin to black, providing a wide range of options for various editorial and design needs.
Each Frontliner font offers 503 glyphs, with typographic flexibility through OpenType features. The default double-story forms of the lowercase ‘a’ and ‘g’ can be swapped for single-story versions, adding versatility. An alternate wider ‘r’ is available for added emphasis, and there is an alternate ‘1’ with foot serifs, which proves useful for tabular settings. Proportional lining figures, with a narrower default ‘1’, are activated by default, ensuring consistency in numerical alignment.
