Yetson

How Grotesque can a serif typeface be? Yetson Serif, a French Renaissance Grotesque, blends Antiqua’s elegance with modernism. More than a fusion, Yetson captures the nuanced subtlety of serifs from a grotesque viewpoint, emphasising its integral clarity.

Developed in both serif and sans-serif variants, Yetson strikes a perfect balance, with each version sharing the same design foundation for seamless pairing. The Serif version highlights the essentials: a slight tilt to the axis, minimal yet decisive serifs. Yetson Sans has subtle calligraphic touches, especially in the design of the lowercase ‘a’ and the italics.

The typeface truly captures the essence of each genre by distilling it down to the basics of calligraphy and serifs, ensuring exceptional readability from headlines to small sizes. Find more information about the project in the notes.

Yetson is available in individual weights or as a variable font, offered in two subfamilies—Serif and Sans—each spanning a Light → Black axis. The family package also includes two variable fonts: upright and italic.

The International Typographic Style has had a profound influence on graphic design as a part of the modernist movement, affecting many design-related fields; including architecture and art. It emphasises cleanness, readability, and objectivity. Hallmarks of the style are asymmetric layouts, use of a grid, sans-serif typefaces and flush left, ragged right text. The style is also associated with a preference for photography in place of illustrations. Many of the early International Typographic Style works featured typography as a primary design element besides its use in text, and it is for this that the style is named. The style emerged from a desire to represent information objectively. The International Typographic Style evolved as a modernist graphic movement that sought to convey messages clearly and in a universal manner, influencing design practices across the globe.

Los Pirineos son más antiguos que los Alpes: sus sedimentos se depositaron por primera vez en las cuencas costeras durante las eras Paleozoica y Mesozoica. Hace entre 100 y 150 millones de años, durante el período Cretácico Inferior, el golfo de Vizcaya se desplegó, empujando a la España actual contra Francia y aplicando una intensa presión de compresión a grandes capas de roca sedimentaria. La intensa presión y la elevación de la corteza terrestre afectaron primero a la parte oriental y se movieron progresivamente a toda la cadena, culminando en la Época del Eoceno. La parte oriental de los Pirineos se compone principalmente de rocas de granito y gneiss, mientras que en la parte occidental los picos de granito están flanqueados por capas de piedra caliza. El carácter masivo proviene de su abundancia de granito, que es resistente a la erosión y proporciona una estructura robusta a la cordillera.

Wie auf dem festen Land, so gibt es auch im Meer Erhöhungen und Schluchten. Viele Berge unter dem Meer sind höher, manche Gebirgszüge sind länger, und viele Schluchten sind tiefer als irgendwo auf dem Festland. Wenn man den höchsten Berg mit seinen 8847 Metern Höhe in die tiefste Tiefe versenken wollte, so würden immer noch gut 2186 Meter Wassertiefe über seinem Gipfel liegen. Während aber alle Erhebungen auf dem festen Land dem ständigen, zermürbenden Angriff von Erosion ausgesetzt sind, stehen die Gebirge unterm Meer unversehrt im stillen Wasser der Abgründe. Ihre obersten Spitzen durchstoßen das Wasser und erscheinen uns als Inseln.
