Mid-century muscle meets modern minimalism with a brutalist edge.

Telegraf

Size

Telegraf isn’t just another grotesk, it’s a modernist machine dressed in mid-century tailoring and built with brutalist bones. It draws from the functional forms of classic grotesks, but swaps out softness for structure, adding sharp angles and rigid energy where it counts.

Telegraf

Size

Its presence is bold, grounded, and unapologetically graphic. As you move up in weight, the counters get more rectangular, dialing up legibility on-screen and visual punch in large-scale layouts. Light weights feel clean and composed, while the heavy end hits like a cinder block with style. Whether you’re building a tech-forward brand, a cutting-edge editorial, or a gritty poster system, Telegraf keeps things tight and sharp. It’s equally at home in indie zines and massive commercial campaigns—a rare combo of versatility and presence. Need italics? Telegraf comes in two flavors: A comfortable 15° Slanted cut, perfect for long-form content and subtle hierarchy. A 30° Oblique that goes full brutalist, designed for graphic punch and visual disruption. It’s that contrast—of structure and flexibility, clarity and aggression—that gives Telegraf its edge. It's not about decoration. It’s about forceful, confident design that holds the line.

Grotesk with grit.

Telegraf combines the forms of mid-century grotesks with rigid angles. ● As its weight increases, Telegraf’s counters become more rectangular, to help with on-screen viewing at small sizes, and to increase impact at large sizes.

It would define itself as a well-planted modern grotesk with a powerful presence and a touch of brutalism ▲ Suitable for both large-scale and indie projects.

The Slanted have a comfortable 15° angle for your editorial or long-form content. We also created an extreme 30° Oblique for a more brutalist and graphic approach.
