CONCEPT:
Gliko Modern is a legible and economical text typeface made for editorial design. The family offers thirty fonts divided into three optical sizes: S for body text, M for medium-sized headlines, and L for large headlines and titles. The design goes back and forth between the sturdy elegance of late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Dutch Old Style types, and the delicacy and extreme rationalization of the Didot style that came after.
