Yuni Grotesque is not just a compressed sans or a dismembered sibling of Yuni Slab ———— it is the second coming of the highly anticipated Yuni Collection; the St. Peter of the typographical pearly gates; the end of the Samsara of narrow sans serifs!

Yuni Grotesque’s curves are playful and highly suggestive. While weight transforms counters into almost-circular rounds, outer curves take a flatter approach. Bringing these two approaches together results in a blend, a beautiful bouquet of high functioning foolishness. Separated from its serifed sibling — which played with the distribution of serifs, balls, historical references and the same curvature — Yuni Grotesque fashions a fully-fledged life of its own, while keeping a close kinship alive.

In six finely-curated steps, its weight range covers everything you need from a flimsy Hair, or an advantageous Medium, all the way to a thick and sturdy Black. Additionally Yuni parades speed and confidence with Italic styles heavily sloped at an expressive 18° angle. This compressed powerhouse of 12 styles plays for keeps and is best suited for everything grand and mighty: intricate branding, sophisticated layouts, oversized movie titles or inflatable event signage you can see from space or whatever will save the world. Reputationally speaking.

With more than 900 glyphs per style, including native-approved Cyrillic and a broad Latin character set, Yuni Grotesque speaks more than 270 languages. Steep accents, multiple figure sets (circled ones included), a finely-selected collection of arrows, and OpenType features like case-sensitive punctuation, contextual alternate forms and alternative highlights for dynamic typesetting are some of the typographic extras Yuni can use to cater to your heart’s desire.

Yuni Grotesque is a part of the upcoming Yuni Collection whose story arc will conclude in a not-so-distant future. Keep your eyes peeled!
