About/Description
Agneta is a contemporary take on the classic grotesque genre, rooted in the history of typography, but characterized by Guido Schneider’s personal, intuitive interpretation. Inspired by early sans-serif typeface, and sparked by distinctive letterforms found in old printed matter and a board game logo, Agneta strikes a delicate balance between clarity and personality.
With its generous x-height, smooth curves, and subtle detailing, Agneta offers clarity without coldness. It’s distinctly modern, but with a touch of human warmth – a grotesque that doesn’t shout, but speaks with confidence and charm.
The type family includes 10 finely balanced weights, each accompanied by a carefully drawn italic. This makes Agneta a versatile tool for a wide range of typographic needs.
Designed to be adaptable without losing its soul, Agneta offers a wide range of stylistic sets. You can choose between three distinct a forms, a double-storey or single-storey g, different takes on l r y R Q, and even between round or square punctuation. This flexibility allows you to change the tone of the font from its naturally smooth, warm and expressive voice to something more neutral and crisp, depending on what your design requires.
Despite its straight basic structure, Agneta is lively and friendly. It lends itself just as well to branding, editorial and digital design as it does to expressive typographic experiments. Whether you prefer its classic roots or its contemporary nuances, Agneta always remains legible, subtly characterful, and unmistakably your own.
Agneta is not just a typeface – it’s a clear voice with a gentle tone.
