GT Planar

What it is

This site presents a project by Dominik Huber that combines Retalic, Upright, and Italic styles into a single continuous design space. It is rooted in Modernism and Swiss Futurism, focusing on functionality across various lengths, sizes, and angles.

Structure & content

The page is organized into thematic sections including Liftoff, New Territory, and Beyond Divisions. It features technical documentation such as a Family Overview, Character Set, and Stylistic Alternates, alongside a HUD Typetester.

Why study it

The site illustrates a method for presenting a multi-axis design system through technical parameters like tilt mode, angle, and weight. It explains how specific construction details, such as horizontal terminals and vertical spurs, are maintained across extreme angles.
