TIL: Svend Smital’s FF Super Grotesk comes with alternate glyphs for ‘a’ and ‘g’. They can alter its appearance pretty drastically, infusing the austere German Futura follower from 1930 with elements of an American Gothic, arriving at a peculiar Drescher/Benton bastard.
In a rather irrational move, the designers of this book used the default shapes for text, and the alternates for locations and captions.
