Bastardo Grotesk is a contemporary grotesque marked by distinct sharp cuts and diagonal detailing that break the monotony of its otherwise sober forms. The family spans Thin to Black, holding consistent vertical stress and minimal stroke contrast. Its compact proportions, tight counters, and closed apertures create a dense rhythm, while the angular cuts and diagonal terminals inject tension and edge. The result is a grotesque that feels precise and utilitarian, yet visually charged with a sharp, almost abrasive character. Now supporting Italics, designed in collaboration with Matt Burvill.
