From the foundry
Initially drawn for the ISELP art institute in Brussels (BE) and further developed for WEFRAC, the French Regional Contemporary Art Funds Open Days event, Insitu is a neo-grotesque with tight spacing and nice contrast. Inspired by gothics from the beginning of the 20th century and from classics like Folio, it is our version of the friendly and sturdy sans serif. Insitu is meant to enjoy the lapidar sentences of conceptual art and the heavy magazine titles. It prefers large type settings, though it also manages to stay readable at smaller font sizes and includes italics so it can still be used in a variety of situations.
