Gregory Text Font Family is your buddy for text and beyond. Down-to-earth and heartfelt, this contemporary bookish typeface is all about charming little quirks: distinct in detail, but pragmatic in total.
With moderate stroke contrast and unusual shapes, Gregory Text reinterprets the historical aesthetic of early Slab Serif metal types to fit today’s demands. The result is a typography that prefers home touches and obvious ink-traps to ‘rational’ geometry. The family’s warmth is reflected in its chunky, softly-curved serifs and square-ish, doughy countershapes; and even in its more-delicate lighter weights.
Exaggerating details, sharpening edges and pushing and prodding at counterforms for micro-sizes, Gregory Text draws on W. A. Dwiggings’ M-formula. This gives rise to Gregory Text’s quirky looks and excellent legibility: it can comfortably carry complex texts with a cosy vibe. Crafted for flavourful small text, it’s equally effective at larger scales — the robust detailing standing out in headlines.
Gregory Text’s matching italics are spirited, sharply-curved shapes that create a stable, but lively texture: reinforcing its delightful appeal for micro-text and Baroque top-heaviness. Functional and approachable, this is a workhorse for serious and informal typography: whatever you write, Gregory makes it charming.
With Greek and Cyrillics drawn by native designers, Gregory Text gets along easily in 270 languages, including Vietnamese. Gregory Text is carefully engineered with a range of OpenType Features for ambitious typography, including a set of relaxed oldstyle figures, language specific localisation and delightful symbols and emoji.
