Foundry Gridnik FONT Download

Foundry Gridnik was published by The Foundry. Foundry Gridnik contains 10 styles and family package options.  

The new Foundry Gridnik typeface family features an expressive range of 10 weights – from Light to Extra Bold, each with accompanying Italics.

Foundry Gridnik was developed from the single weight monospaced 'typewriter' face, originally created by Dutch designer Wim Crouwel in the 1960s. Crouwel's devotion to grids and systems led to his affectionate nickname of 'Mr Gridnik', and this inspired the new typeface family name. Foundry Gridnik's distinct geometric design has been described as 'the thinking man's Courier'. Crouwel said, 'I am a functionalist troubled by aesthetics', and although Gridnik is based on logic, rationality and strict adherence to the grid, it also has a human dimension that sets it apart.
