Grotesque sans typefaces are timeless classics that never go out of style. Just when you think one Swiss font is enough, a new specimen from the past arrives, inviting you to try new takes on modernist letterforms. It's a tight and crowded design space, so design decisions are subtle and almost unnoticeable. To work with these shapes, you need a taste for the infinitesimal, whether you choose to be the God or the Devil in the details.

The design of this typeface reflects a delicate equilibrium between modernist precise ideals and the fascinating energy of old lead grotesques. The resulting typeface develops an idiosyncratic relationship with negative space, inspired by the tight metrics modernist designers imposed on their layouts. While leaving text-optimized spacing to the text subfamily, Milligram plays with a feeling of attraction behind the shapes, taken to the extremes in the logo-oriented Milligram Tight Variant.

Designed by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini with Andrea Tartarelli, Milligram is a fine but bold homage to the Akzidenz Grotesk that never was.
