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. Where mechanical shortcuts would have been at hand, the design opts instead for elaborately measured solutions. Strict design rules are followed in a handcrafted manner, liberating the typeface from past paradigms.
