NN Swinton

With NN Swinton, Marc Droz created a versatile typeface for those designers who’d like to add some magic to their designs. Swinton evolved from the Swiss grotesque typefaces originating from the 1960s with low stroke contrasts, which generally was associated with the rise of what is today known as the “Swiss Style” (International Style). Swinton has expressive details here and there and a charming and standardized overall spirit as found in American grotesques. The main ­inspration for the design vocabulary was the modern & brutalist architecture wich was present at the same time.
