Gruppo Due Gruppo Due (Berlin, London, Karlsruhe and Bern) is a type design platform and foundry offering retail typefaces, alongside bespoke designs resulting from a close collaboration with our commissioners. Gruppo Due was founded in 2019 by Moritz Appich, Massimiliano Audretsch, Jonas Grünwald and Bruno Jacoby. They designed bespoke typefaces for University of Arts and Design, Karlsruhe (Germany), Cafe Bar Mokka, Thun (Switzerland), Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts (Germany), and Mustafa Emin Büyükcoksun (Germany and Turkey). The details on the corporate fonts: As part of a complete visual identity for Atelier Lohmann they drew G2 Lohmann, a technical low-contrast monospace typeface. G2 HfMdK: A bespoke typeface for the redesigned visual identity of Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts, Frankfurt am Main. G2 Gitmek: created for an experimental documentary by Mustafa Emin Büyükcoksun, to be used for subtitles and promotional material. G2 Airdancer (2018): drawn to fit the extravagant proportions of an air dancer, greeting new and returning students in a school's building. Retail typefaces: G2 Kosmos. A monolinear rounded sans by Moritz Appich and Bruno Jacoby. They write: G2 Kosmos is a modernistic monoline typeface. Its simple shapes follow a geometric grid, but don't hesitate to break free to form better flowing and smoother letters. The grid is the same one artist and designer Wolfgang Schmidt used for his Lebenszeichen. This system of signs was developed to measure the entire cosmos of his emotions and experiences. The typeface's first incarnation was drawn as part of the 2019 diploma project by Maxim Weirich surrounding the Lebenszeichen. G2 TGR. A workhorse sans family by Massimiliano Audretsch. G2 Ciao. An informal typeface by Massimiliano Audretsch. He writes: The letter shapes of G2 Ciao are derived from an historical sketch by the American typographer, book and puppet designer William Addison Dwiggins. The sketch labeled Modelled letter No1, shows the original four letters t, a, i, and e. They consist of individual elements, precisely drawn outlines, connectedonly by hairlines. No repetitive pattern is recognizable. Each letter follows a self-contained principle. G2 Erika (Regular, Mono). By Moritz Appich.
