PF Das Grotesk Pro™ Font Download

Das Grotesk was inspired by earlier nineteenth-century grotesques, but it is much more related to American gothic designs such as those by M.F. Benton.

Das Grotesk on the other hand is a lively design with several distinguishable characteristics which attract attention when set at large sizes, whilst they become subtle and blend evenly at small sizes, fostering a neutral identity.

This is a very legible and space-saving typeface with a narrow structure. It was designed with slanted curved ends and sheared terminals applied on several straight strokes. It has two-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ but includes single-storey alternates.

The family consists of 14 weights ranging from Extra Thin to Black (including true-italics).

It provides simultaneous support for Latin, Cyrillic and Greek and is loaded with several advanced typographic features such as small caps.

This typeface is available in both regular and oblique versions.
