Beatrice Standard Font Family was designed by Lucas Sharp, Inga Plönnigs, Connor Davenport, Kia Tasbihgou and published by Monotype. Beatrice Standard contains 14 styles and family package options. Beatrice is a new kind of typeface. This collection of fonts is an exploration of a range of contrast methodologies, combining various aspects from the canon expansionist systems, inverted contrast, and the contrast behavior of grotesks. These methodologies were dissected and used as cornerstones in creating our own system. When it was first released in 2018, Beatrice landed in largely unexplored territory in type design, and the bar it set remains today. Built upon the foundation of the American Gothic and utilizing tight-not-touching spacing, the Beatrice Superfamily features a robust set of weights across four optical sizes including Standard, Deck, Headline, and Display. The iconic cut of Beatrice Display offers the highest head-turning contrast; where Beatrice Standardis best for all high-function-low-contrast needs; Headline and Deck, were drawn to smoothly click into place between the original two sizes, offering a more gradual spectrum of applications.While Beatrice Display, Headline, and Deck are all optical size variations of the same core architecture, Beatrice Standard has such a reduced contrast that its unique contrast system is only a subtle detail of this handsome and utilitarian typeface. Beatrice Standard can be used for smaller caption and text settings within the larger Beatrice Superfamily system, or simply as a stand-alone sans serif workhorse typeface.
