ABC Ginto is an exuberant geometric-humanist typeface that delights in tension, especially the tension between circular and rectangular forms. London-based graphic designer Seb McLauchlan developed the font while researching sans-serif typefaces from the twentieth century, focusing on the shift from strict Modernist purity to the more baroque, animated styles that emerged during the phototypesetting period of the '50s and '60s. ABC Ginto consists of the two sister-families, ABC Ginto and ABC Ginto Nord. ABC Ginto is compact and poised, and encompasses a sensible set of weights ranging from Thin to Ultra, allowing the typeface to perform well in a variety of sizes and environments. Nord takes the tone and timbre of Normal and amps up the volume to 11, expanding the x-height and character width.
