Oceanic Grotesk Compact

The concept behind Oceanic Grotesk was to craft a suitable sans-serif companion to the Oceanic and Oceanic Text serif font families, establishing cohesive personalities without replicating individual letter designs. While Oceanic serif embodies interpretations of 18th and 19th-century fat faces, echoing the upright contrast reminiscent of Bodoni, Canon, or Scotch Romans, Oceanic Grotesk delves into the mid-20th-century modernist approach to typography and graphic design. Guided by neutrality and simplicity as its core values, Oceanic Grotesk emerges as a trustworthy and versatile workhorse type family. Oceanic Grotesk seamlessly complements Oceanic Text, sharing identical vertical metrics for effortless use in continuous text strings or titles. With 6 weights and 12 styles ranging from Light to Poster, accompanied by matching italics, the family also offers a variable font format for added versatility. [intervaltype.com]
