About

The Story of Greyscale Basic

GreyscaleNet

Sans Serif

Open Source

Greyscale Basic is a free font from GreyscaleNet.

Greyscale Basic was designed by GreyscaleNet. The typeface demonstrates a commitment to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Sans Serif typeface in the Vox-ATypI Lineal classification, Greyscale Basic features no serif extensions on stroke terminals and stroke contrast ranging from monolinear to subtly modulated. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for screen-first digital products and web applications.

Greyscale Basic is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency for both digital and print applications, with 5 curated font pairings available. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
