FOUNDRY: Typotheque
CONCEPT:
Greta Text is a contemporary typeface family designed for the demands of newspaper printing. It consists of four primary text weights(each in three grades) and is optimized for use at small sizes. Since
the typeface was created to function in the extreme conditions of newspaper production, it is also ideal for other modern typographic situations, such as print and electronic editions of magazines or books. Besides Hebrew, Greta supports Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and Arabic. The Latin/Greek/Cyrillic pair received the Type Directors Club Certificate of Excellence in Type Design in 2007, Arabic in 2012, and now Hebrew in 2018.
