Forme Grotesque, by Jeremy Johnson, explores the richness of the 19th century British Grotesque genre. The design draws on inspiration from a number of British type foundries, including Grotesques from Stephenson Blake, Monotype and Miller & Richard.

Johnson looked at particular idiosyncrasies and the imperfections of these early typefaces, attempting to put these through a contemporary lens, whilst retaining a nuanced spirit throughout an extensive type family across a wide range of weights, and over multi language writing systems.

Forme Grotesque is available in eight weights — ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold and Black — with corresponding Italics. It is available to license in three flavours; Standard (‘STD’), Professional (‘PRO’) and Arabic (‘ARABIC’). The PRO variant contains language support for Cyrillic and Greek scripts, alongside numerous OpenType features such as old-style numerals, case sensitive forms and stylistic alternates, as well as a set of emojis.
