RL Sezon is a Grotesk type family inspired by early examples of the genre, known for its flexibility and adaptability. Historically, Grotesk typefaces were loosely connected collections that could expand and evolve — a quality that Sezon embraces. Its design strikes a balance between industrial precision and mechanical warmth, making it versatile for a wide range of applications. It follows measurements taken by both ruler and eye, rather than by laser. The typeface features semi-open terminals and generous proportions, paired with fully rounded counters allowing it to perform well in large display settings and longer paragraphs. While Sezon takes cues from early Grotesks like Venus, it also incorporates modern influences, such as the geometric simplicity of Futura. This combination gives the typeface a timeless yet contemporary feel, suitable for both traditional and forward-looking design applications. RL Sezon is available in a range of weights and italics, offering versatility for different contexts. It is packaged as both static fonts and a variable format, enhancing its flexibility. The name “Sezon” (Polish for season) reflects its all-year-round usability — whether for branding, editorial design, or user interfaces, there’s always a season for a reliable Grotesk. [radluka.com]
