    Painting, especially, has advanced with almost fantastic strides during the last decades, and it has only recently been freed from practical meaning and liberated from the necessity of responding to the many purposes it had earlier been forced to serve.
  • Display Thin Oblique
    The creative human being knows (and suffers from it) that the inherent values of life are being destroyed under the pressure of moneymaking, competition, and trade.
  • Display Light
    Not the single piece of work, nor the highest individual attainment must be emphasized, but instead the creation of the commonly usable type, development toward “standards”.
  • Display Light Oblique
    The stronger the aesthetic experience the more completely will the objective, natural appearance of the object of the experience be annihilated.

  • Display Regular Oblique

  • Display Medium
    One proceeds by way of the uniformly compressed circle, of which the oval is a result, to free basic planes. These are, to be sure, without angles but, just as is possible in the case of angular forms,

  • Display Heavy Oblique
    Painting, especially, has advanced with almost fantastic strides during the last decades, and it has only recently been freed from practical meaning and liberated from the necessity of responding to the many purposes it had earlier been forced to serve.
  • Display Black
    So much for technique! But what about beauty? The New Architecture throws open its walls like curtains to admit a plenitude of fresh air.
  • Display Black Oblique

Typeface information

GT Era reimagines the warmth and idiosyncrasies of early grotesk typefaces for our own era. These pre-modernist tools were being pushed to their extremes in the radical designs of the modernist movements—like Bauhaus and De Stijl—of the period. The typeface shuns neutrality and embraces friction, championing recognition over uniformity and flavor over conformity.
