CDT Racionale Grotesk

Information


Walks the fine line between order and playfulness. It’s a rebel neo-grotesque, clean and organized at first, but if you look closer, you’ll spot its quirkiness and bizarre details.

Available in five weights and 10 styles, including Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold, and their corresponding Obliques. With a playful set of alternate characters, this typeface favours those who want to break the rules and get innovative. Perfect for bold branding, editorial work, or anywhere you want to add a touch of innovation and quirkiness.

The type family supports Western European languages and includes a playful set of alternate characters, enabling designers to introduce variation and character when needed. It was developed with consistency and versatility in mind, maintaining strong performance at both display and text sizes.
