Brandon Grotesque Font Family
Brandon Grotesque Font Family is a neo-grotesque sans-serif typeface designed by Hannes von Döhren, released in 2009/2010. This font family consists of 12 styles, including six weights (Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, Black) and their respective italics. It is characterized by its geometric forms, which are optically corrected for improved legibility, and a small x-height that contributes to its elegant appearance.
Design and Characteristics
Brandon Grotesque is influenced by geometric-style sans serif typefaces from the 1920s and 30s, drawing inspiration from designs like Erbar and Futura. The font has a modern yet warm aesthetic, making it suitable for both display and text applications. The lighter weights are ideal for longer texts, while the bolder weights work well for headlines and display use. The font family also includes a variant called Brandon Text, which features a larger x-height for better readability in body text.
Usage and Licensing
Brandon Grotesque is widely used in various design projects, including branding, advertising, and digital media. While the font is available for free for personal use, a commercial license must be purchased for business applications. It supports a wide range of languages, making it versatile for international use.
