Pangram Pangram Releases PP Frama Typeface Blending Futura and Avant Garde

Pangram Pangram has introduced PP Frama, a new typeface that combines the sleek geometry of Futura with the striking forms of Avant Garde. Mathieu Desjardins, the studio's founder, has created a cohesive system that prioritizes a serene rhythm over rigid shapes. The design features a harmonious blend of rounded bowls and sharp points, resulting in light, confident glyphs. To combat the frequent issue of geometric fonts appearing overly dark in smaller sizes, subtle optical tweaks have been implemented: gentle tapering of curves at stem joints, crossbars aligned with the visual center, and flat terminals on horizontal and vertical lines. These design elements ensure clean baselines in lengthy columns, while open counters enhance legibility in smaller text, and pure round shapes retain clarity in larger displays. The typeface is featured in project posters, large metal signage, and printed cards that pair display numerals with hand-drawn ships. High-contrast layouts illustrate compatibility in weight, with lighter styles ideal for art books and darker styles providing impact for posters and covers. Designers can create complete layouts using this single type family. Free trial files are accessible on the foundry's website, allowing teams to explore all variations in their everyday design tools. This initiative supports emerging studios in experimenting with innovative typography before committing to a full license.
