Discover Yuni Grotesque Font by Philipp Neumeyer and TypeMates — a compressed sans with playful curves, 12 styles, 900+ glyphs, and support for 270+ languages. Oh my!
It’s Friday, and we’ve got some fresh font news to kick off the weekend: Yuni Grotesque has arrived. When type design becomes storytelling, it’s worth paying attention. Enter Yuni Grotesque, the newest chapter in the much-anticipated Yuni Collection. Designed by Philipp Neumeyer and released through TypeMates, Grotesque strikes out on its own with curves that are equal parts functional and mischievous.
A Distinct Voice
At first glance, Yuni Grotesque might read as a compressed sans, but it’s much more. Its counters shift toward near-perfect circles as weight increases, while outer curves flatten out in unexpected ways. The result is a kind of high-functioning foolishness, a characterful sans that’s self-aware yet confident in any setting.
Six Weights, Twelve Styles
Grotesque arrives in a finely curated range: from a whisper-thin Hair to a bold, commanding Black. Add in Italics slanted at an expressive 18° and you get a versatile set of 12 styles ready for everything from oversized movie titles to branding systems that demand impact. This is typography meant to be seen and remembered.
Typographic Depth
Behind the playful curves lies serious depth. Each style contains more than 900 glyphs, covering over 270 languages with Latin and Cyrillic support. Designers will appreciate the thoughtful extras: multiple figure sets (yes, circled ones too), arrows, case-sensitive punctuation, contextual alternates, and even stylistic highlights that keep dynamic typesetting fresh.
A Collection in Motion
Yuni Grotesque isn’t the end of the story, but a milestone in the evolving Yuni Collection. Its confident stance signals where the collection is headed toward a full family of expressive typefaces designed for today’s global, multi-platform design work. For those of us always on the hunt for fonts that balance functionality and personality, Yuni Grotesque offers both in spades.
