Gimlet draws its inspiration from Georg Trump’s 1938 typeface, Schadow. At the behest of Nick Sherman, David Jonathan Ross reimagined the oddball serif as an energetic contemporary workhorse, complete with three optical sizes and a flexible set of widths tailored for responsive layouts. A multifaceted series that speaks with a singular voice, Gimlet is a rare find: a typeface that is as funky as it is functional.
