FRONTIER
GTPLANAR−45°+45°

Liftoff

Welcome to a galaxy of Uprights and Italics built as one, not as separate entities. GT Planar bends the laws of type design as it seamlessly transitions from Thin to Black, from -45° Retalic to +45° Italic. Rooted in Modernism, Dominik Huber’s latest typeface family blazes new trails forward: welcome to Swiss Futurism.

New Territory

A simple yet ambitious question informs the design: How far can a typeface go? How much can it lean forward without falling apart? How far can it lay back without slipping? And how much can it exceed its limits and still retain its efforts? Here comes a design that moves toward distant futures, seeking to reveal a novel typographic system.
The typeface’s central star is its functionality. Stressing the horizontal, GT Planar composes well-balanced lines, no matter the text’s length, size, or angle. Its radically planar framework allows for both steady and inventive typography, resulting in utility, consistency, and economy of means.

Beyond Divisions

What historically has been separate now comes together: Retalic to Upright to Italic as a single, continuous design space. None of them exists above the other—this is how the typeface drastically expands its capabilities and aesthetic.
While the use of Italics often is limited to distinguishing the particular from the general, GT Planar travels beyond this binary.

Design

GT Planar provides a program pushed and not constrained by its exceptions, balancing constructed rigidity with the autonomy of curved strokes.

Accessing the infinite. Following the laws of quantum physics, orbits are not ellipses but straight lines, celestial bodies which fall in the straightest possible manner. eternal windfalls.

Straight Curves

GT Planar’s design emphasizes the horizontal dimension. Stroke endings and stroke joints are leveled to allow the verticals a full range of motion across 90 degrees.
This kink in the construction is both a utilitarian and stylistic device. Curves protrude from the stem like bent pipes, facilitating well-balanced lines of text with a mechanically regulated feel.

Flexible Persistence

Horizontal terminals stay horizontal—no matter the Italic or Retalic angle. This key construction detail enables the characters to handle extreme angles and defines the typeface’s particular aesthetic.

Calculated Surprises

The same applies to spurs, which stay vertical at all angles. Lowercase terminals stay completely straight throughout the full range.

Expressive Control

The italics are manually drawn, not just computer-generated. Its most angled styles follow a narrower architecture with balanced vertical and horizontal stems to visually match the Upright styles. The more the characters bend, the more particular their design becomes.

Dynamic Pace

Depending on a typeface’s uppercase proportions, an otherwise contemporary design can suddenly feel historical. In this case, GT Planar’s horizontal rhythm emphasizes it modern aspects through precise metrics and steady capitals.
As a result of this mechanical quality, GT Planar runs in an economical manner – be it for a rocket ship’s logo or a spacecraft’s user manual.

Balancing Act

GT Planar’s uppercase counters are shifted toward the top and bottom of each letter. This calculated adjustment gives the letters a crisp and accelerated look.
The horizontal and vertical proportions work together to emphasize the typeface’s futuristic style without losing its functional edge.

Future Classic

Expressive rationalism. Vivid discipline. Playful determination. GT Planar has come to you from a future where design traditions are not a burden, but instead lead the way to further dimensions.
