Today we would like to share with you Grilli Type’s latest release GT Ultra. The typeface dances between the worlds of sans and serifs, fusing calligraphy, and construction.
Grilli Type’s latest release is informed by the decorative flare serif typefaces of the 1970s and 80s. GT Ultra is a variable font that functions as both sans and serif with true Italics, dynamic weights, and geometric construction. It challenges its own definition while questioning the typographic expectations of traditional sans and serifs.
Designer Noël Leu put his compositional expertise to the test for GT Ultra, combining a little bit of calligraphy, a little bit of geometry, and a lot of sleek refining power to give a carefully crafted new typeface. The typeface consists of 33 styles and three subfamilies, and includes GT Ultra Ultra—a chunky, funky, maxed-out type that puts a contemporary spin on disco-era display text.
