Path Grotesk

About

Path Grotesk is a warm, condensed sans-serif that incorporates casual, handwritten cues within a clean, controlled structure. The letterforms draw from the natural motion of a flat marker pen: softly connected strokes and terminals gently angled in the direction of each writing movement. These stroke nuances soften the rigidity typically found in narrow grotesques, giving the typeface a friendly, human quality without compromising legibility or refinement.

Key construction features include lightly connected stroke joins, consistent curve modulation, and directionally cut terminals that introduce marker-like edge behavior without overstating the effect. Quietly expressive and approachable, Path Grotesk brings personality and warmth to space-conscious layouts.

The typeface received an Honorable Mention at the Morisawa Type Design Competition.
