GRIPPO

The first Grippo sketches were done in the 1980s, but only now does it see the light of day as a complete series of interchangeable, layerable fonts. The original single-font concept was simple enough: Double the stems so they become sturdy handles. But then we elected to add more playfulness and versatility to the idea. By spearating the main idea’s layers and producing them as individual fonts, layerability is achieved, and endless possibilities of play and variation arise.
