Families, weights, and styles: pairing Pangram Pangram most versatile typeface with itself.
Neue Corp, the latest release from Pangram Pangram, is a typeface that is, above everything, versatile.
Born from the adoration and combination of classic typographic influences, through the lens of contemporary type technologies, Neue Corp is essentially adaptable to any creative scenario. From bold, expressive headlines to refined, readable body text, Neue Corp spans a broad range of weights, widths, and stylistic variations.
With its roots in both the eccentricity of old wood type and the precision of neo-grotesques, Neue Corp is the kind of typeface that doesn’t just work in different contexts but absolutely thrives in them. To celebrate its flexibility, we’ve turned our eyes to what makes a good font pairing with Neue Corp, and the answer is: itself. After all, there is plenty to go around. Whether you’re working on something physical, digital, editorial or identity, these pairings are at least a stepping stone into Neue Corp’s seemingly endless offering.
Extended Bold and Compressed Light
This pairing is all about balance. Extended Bold brings a broad, confident presence, perfect for making a statement. Its wide proportions and heavyweight draw attention right away, while Compressed Light counterbalances with its narrow and delicate form. Together, you can imagine them working exceptionally well in editorial spreads, with headlines that pack a punch paired with lighter, more elegant details that guide the reader.
Narrow Bold and Extended Thin
Narrow Bold is wonderfully versatile. Its slimmer shape gives it an edge in terms of readability while still providing enough presence to stand out. When combined with the airy and refined Extended Thin, you achieve a more modern, balanced aesthetic that has quite a minimal, breezy vibe. The Bold weight grounds the design, while the Thin width adds a touch of elegance, making this pairing perfect for any context that values clarity and style.
Condensed Black and Wide Thin
Black Condensed has an in-your-face intensity, which contrasts effectively with the light, open feel of Thin Wide. This pairing does offer a touch of drama to any application where you want to mix power with prowess. It has to be said, Black Condensed makes an unapologetically bold statement, while Thin Wide provides a classy counterpoint, keeping the design grounded and balanced despite the extremes in weight and width.
Condensed Black and Wide Regular
Condensed Black is intense, compact, and ideal for conveying a powerful message in a small space. Paired with Wide Regular, it creates a striking contrast that feels grounded but open. Wide Regular’s expanded proportions allow for a breath of fresh air amid the dense Condensed Black, offering a harmonious yet attention-grabbing look.
Compressed Bold and Normal Regular
With Compressed Bold, you’re getting a condensed style that’s all about making a solid impression in a small footprint. Normal Regular complements this with a more traditional, upright structure that stabilises the design, adding a sense of reliability without sacrificing style.
In the end, Neue Corp proves that sometimes the best pairing is no pairing at all. Instead, just a thoughtful combination of its own broad range of weights, widths, and styles. From the punchy contrast of Extended Bold with Compressed Light to the understated elegance of Narrow Bold and Extended Thin, Neue Corp effortlessly takes up the mantle of whichever side you opt for. It’s a typeface that’s endlessly flexible, allowing for nuance in whatever context.
