What is a Brutalist Typeface?

Defining a brutalist typeface is not straightforward, as it can vary significantly. However, the Nomos superfamily represents our interpretation of this style. Much like the architectural movement it’s named after, Nomos is raw, direct, and honest. Its rugged appearance is built on a foundation of orderly construction, blending classic modernist principles with a contemporary internet-age sensibility. The typeface features simple, functional letterforms and a stark combination of diagonal and vertical stems.

Within the Nomos superfamily, the Nomos Sans subfamily stands out. This low-contrast neogrotesk typeface boasts 18 styles and over 1000 characters. It’s an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from fashion and finance to apps and advertising. In body text, Nomos Sans is both humble and efficient, while in display sizes, it exudes a dynamic and assertive presence. When paired with Nomos Slab, it gains an extra level of sophistication and poise.
