Granit Font is a modern typeface with a classic style. The proportions of its capitals – loosely based on the monumental Roman models – give it the austere “gravitas” and graceful confidence of historical inscriptional letters while, on the other hand, its lowercases tend to be slightly more condensed, thus creating an unexpected contrast in text settings. Granit inherits its distinctive personality from a very specific stencil-like feature often found on letters such as “a”, “g”, “n”, “r”, “y”… While giving us a glimpse at the by-gone charm of traditional stone carving techniques, these subtleties empower Granit’s palette with a more eccentric and optimistic character that reinvigorate any composition. This fragile tension between stone-harshness and hand-finesse is even more palpable in Granit’s italic: with a slightly-more-condensed width, it oscillates between mechanical slant and calligraphic forms – additionally offering alternate characters for designers to play with. Granit definitively aims at top league whimsical titling players with its full set of 230+ ligatures to create dynamic, expressive headlines.
