About Gupter

Gupter is a condensed serif family for text. Its lowercase is tall in relation to the capitals and the letters are narrow, a combination the official notes credit with making the face useful where space is tight. Stems are light, the contrast between thick and thin strokes is moderate, and the serifs are small and bracketed, which gives a page an even grey tone. Octavio Pardo took early twentieth-century English text faces as his starting point. The family consists of three static styles, Regular 400, Medium 500 and Bold 700; there are no italics and no variable version. Each file holds 251 glyphs and covers the basic Latin set, enough for English and Western European languages. Gupter is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Gupter works

Narrow newspaper-style columns

Condensed letters and a large x-height put more words on a line without shrinking the type.

Captions and footnotes

The tall lowercase keeps small sizes legible, and Medium offers a slightly darker step than Regular.

Compact headlines

Bold sets a multi-word heading in a short measure above text in the Regular weight.

Tables, labels and forms

Narrow figures and letters help long entries fit into cells and tight boxes.

Glyphs
