Understanding Shrimp

Anton Darri Palmarsson

Sans Serif

Open Source

Shrimp font is a bold strong grotesk by Anton Darri Palmarsson designed for impactful display applications. This typeface brings heavyweight presence to sports brands, entertainment, and bold statements. Shrimp's bold weight and strong proportions command attention. Particularly effective for merchandise, event promotion, and streetwear. Works at display sizes. Pairs with lighter fonts for text balance.

Shrimp was created by Anton Darri Palmarsson. 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, Shrimp 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.

Shrimp 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.
