Geometric sans serifs Jon Coltz on the choice of geometric sans serifs in 2003: "A nice, ol' geometric sans-serif can make me rather giddy and not even a little insane." Coltz's table of drool: Arno Drescher's original Super Grotesk (1930). FF Super Grotesk (1999) by Svend Smital. [Coltz: "I longed for a Futura with a little flair and flourish, and Smital's resurrection of Super Grotesk provided exactly that. It boasts more than a smattering of standard and unusual upper- and lowercase ligatures; it contains a nicely drawn set of text numerals; and it includes a less geometric, alternate a and g."] Drescher Grotesk BT by Nicolai Gogoll (2001). [Coltz: "It lacks the bells and whistles of Smital's design but is available in twice as many weights as well as a cut with an enlarged x-height."] DTL's and Font Bureau's (recently expanded) cuts of Nobel. House Industries' Neutraface. [Coltz: "I slept next to it for a month"] The Foundry's digitized Archetype.
