Most italics are simply slanted romans. Grisons’ italic is a true cursive cousin. The 'v' and 'w' gain sweeping entry strokes. The 'e' opens up like a cursive hand. When you italicize a word in Grisons, you aren't just tilting it; you are changing its emotional register from declarative to conversational.
Named after the largest and most diverse canton in Switzerland—a region famous for its dramatic shifts from glacial peaks to Mediterranean valleys—Grisons Font is a typographic chameleon. It is a serif typeface that refuses to be pigeonholed. It is simultaneously a stoic classic and a rebellious contemporary. It is the font for the designer who wants to command authority without screaming, and whisper elegance without mumbling. Most revival typefaces look backward. Grisons looks sideways.
Designed over three years by a collective of Swiss and German typographers (who prefer to remain anonymous, letting the work speak for itself), Grisons was born from a specific problem: How do you create a serif that works equally well for a $10,000 watch catalog and a sustainable farm’s annual report?
