This is the first post in a series I am starting called “Featured Font”. Every so often I will feature one of my favorite font’s and give some great examples of it used in design.

I recently came across Brandon Grotesque and instantly fell in love with it. Brandon Grotesque is a sans serif type family that comes in 6 weights, so it can be used for a variety of different designs.

It was designed by Hannes von Döhren in 2009/10. Influenced by the geometric-style sans serif faces that were popular during the 1920s and 30s, the fonts are based on geometric forms that have been optically corrected for better legibility.

I really like this typeface and definitely plan on using it in a design sometime soon. Since it’s fairly new there hasn’t been that much usage of it yet. However I still was able to come up with a few great uses of Brandon Grotesque in design. Check them out below!
