Why you should consider Grenette

Grenette channels early 20th-century wood type specimens, combining the sharp contrasts of Windsor and the refined strokes of Richmond Old Style. This serif family includes ten styles, each carefully crafted to deliver both strong presence and nuanced elegance, making it ideal for projects requiring a historic yet polished touch. Available in webfont and desktop formats, Grenette suits a range of typographic needs within vintage-inspired design realms.

Visual character

Grenette displays pronounced stroke contrast with sharp serifs and bracketed terminals that reflect wood type heritage while providing a sturdy yet refined impression. Its italic styles exhibit dynamic slants and well-crafted curves, contributing to fluidity and legibility. The range of weights from Light to Black enables versatility in hierarchy without sacrificing its distinct vintage character. Small caps and ligatures add typographic richness, reinforcing its craftsmanship aesthetic.
