The main dishes served up this month are grotesks and other sans typefaces. Brandon Grotesque and Proxima Nova have exchanged the top two places again. It is quite amazing how much food is offered on fifty-year old plates, like Futura (in #3), Helvetica Neue (in #4), Akzidenz Grotesk (in #17), Trade Gothic (in #24), Clarendon (in #25---this one is served on a hundred year-old antique), Univers (in #26, still a decade away from 50), Swiss 721 (in #44), and News Gothic (in #48, in hundred and three-year old bentonware). There is still enough on the menu for a script sugar high, with Bombshell Pro in #6 as main dessert. I feel like a mini-surge of slabs is peeking out from underneath the ossobucco---Museo Slab (#12), Adelle (#13), Sancoale Slab (#15), and Clarendon (#25). The plain carpaccios today consist of the simple but successful office sans typefaces like Clio Condensed from LeType (#40), Flexo from Durotype (#35) and the well-known Klavika (#38), all closely related to each other.
