Top 100 Fonts.com Web Fonts for February 2016
The Brandon Grotesque™ family sits at number 8 on last month's Top 100 Web Fonts list. A sans serif type family of six weights, each with complementary italics, Hannes von Döhren found his muse for the design in the geometric sans serif typefaces that were popular during the 1920s and 30s. "I love the old magazines that are set in these typefaces," he explained. "I wanted to create a typeface that echoed the fonts used in these publications, strict in its architectural forms and yet evoking the warmth of the yellowed pages."
The end result pays homage to the likes of the Futura®, Metro® and Kabel® typefaces, while still possessing its own unique appeal. In many ways, it's the perfect typeface to lend a bit of hardcopy charm to 21st digital century web pages.
