Citizen is a new Grotesk inspired by the typographic movement developed in Switzerland in the mid-twentieth century: the International Style. This ultra-clean style became the symbol of a radical approach to typography and the principle of Swiss neutrality. Today, what meaning can we give to this ideal of neutrality? Citizen applies the methodical spirit characteristic of the International Style to move beyond the fantasy of purity, universalism, and neutrality. It is a Grotesk for the 21st century, proudly displaying the singularity of its vision amidst the homogenizing flows of globalization. [altiplano.xyz]
