GT America Intl

GT America connects two centuries of typographic genres, combining 19th century American Gothic and 20th century European Grotesk styles. The result is one cohesive typeface family unified under the best design features from both traditions. Originally released in 2016, this update implements the typographic system in variable font format as well as five new scripts. Exclusively available at Grilli Type.

America

The prototypical American Gothic is an early version of the sans serif model. It resembles a serif design without serifs—and less stroke contrast. This results in a dynamic flow and an expressive personality that is most visible in the double-story g. GT America combines this background with the rigor and precision of the European Grotesk model, built from the ground up as a sturdy workhorse.

Going Global

We collaborated with our partners from around the world to expand the typeface to five new scripts—Arabic عربي, Devanagari देवनागरी, Hebrew עברית, Korean 한글, and Thai ภาษาไทย—to enable GT America’s role as a global typeface. These collaborators brought their design expertise and fluency while applying GT America’s personality to Grilli Type’s most comprehensive script extension yet.

Available Scripts

The Original Four

GT America’s original 84 styles are available in Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, and Vietnamese. This includes five widths and a monospaced version.

Matching Japanese & Chinese

In partnership with our local partners we offer solutions for Chinese and Japanese support on request. Taipei-based foundry Arphic Technologies provides both Simplified and Traditional Chinese designs matched to four weights of GT America. Together with Tokyo-based Type Project we offer six weights of GT America matched with their Japanese design.

Design Union

GT America Intl synthesizes the Gothic model’s strong character with the functional purity that Grotesks have to offer. Noël Leu developed the typeface over a ten year span, using a Swiss Style-lens to refine the design details. We and our partners then expanded the supported writing systems in the eight years since its original release.

Weight Development

The stroke adjusts dynamically in both weight and width to optimize legibility and expression: the bolder the weight the steeper the terminals’ angle. This helps to keep the apertures open and the stroke flow intact. The narrow width’s angular terminals infuse a lot of character as well.

Latin

Stroke Flow

The American Gothic model closely follows the logic of the calligraphic pen stroke. This is particularly visible in the double-story g that uses bold sweeping curves for both the ear on top and the curved descender portion of the letter. This same calligraphic gesture is also visible in the other scripts.

Inward Curving

Interrupted Connection
GT Americas numerals have an interrupted connection, characteristic of the Gothic model. This further accentuates its design construction derived from calligraphic pen strokes. This is also visible in Arabic and Devanagari.

Inktraps

Inktraps are subtle in the lighter weights and become more accentuated the bolder the weight. This offsets dark spots and improves color and texture for body copy text.

Stroke Contrast

GT America is designed with a focus on reading comfort at body copy sizes. It opts for a comparatively high stroke contrast in bolder weights to keep counters open and legible.

Design Features

Thinned stems and angled spurs are applied and follow the calligraphic stroke movement. They add personality and unique details while also improving legibility by enlarging the outer counters. Uppercase characters are condensed, taking up less width for a more economic function focused on text usage.
