Numero.02

Inspired by the Gothic No. 2 typeface by the Keystone Type Foundry (1888–1917).

This type family pays homage to the origins of the “Gothic” appellation, a term historically used in the 19th century to describe sans serif typefaces. In contrast to the ornate and classical serifed typefaces of the time, these “Gothic” fonts were seen as bold, utilitarian, and modern—a departure from the past. The term came to represent a certain straightforward, no-nonsense aesthetic that was both functional and striking. Numero.02 continues this legacy, integrating notable design elements from the original Gothic №2 while infusing them with contemporary flair. [black-foundry.com]
