Description
Originally designed in 1927 by American type designer Frederic Goudy, Grandstander was intended for signage and advertising purposes. Its distinctive features include thick strokes, flat serifs, and a strong contrast between thick and thin lines, giving it a powerful and attention-grabbing appearance. The font's design has undergone slight modifications over the years to meet modern design requirements while preserving its original character.

Best Use Cases

  • Website and app interfaces
  • Editorial design
  • Corporate branding
  • Advertising
  • Signage and wayfinding

Usage Instructions

To use Grandstander effectively, pair it with a clean, sans-serif font for body text to ensure legibility. Apply the font sparingly in designs due to its bold nature, using it primarily for headlines, logos, or other attention-grabbing elements.
