Beni: A Condensed Grotesk Typeface for Modern Headlines
Beni is a condensed grotesk font family created for projects requiring clarity and visual presence. Designed with inspiration from classic movie posters, its compact forms bring an assertive tone to headlines in posters and user interfaces. Optical adjustments within its design enable efficient use of space, making it well-suited for digital and print environments where legibility and economy are essential.
Beni’s versatility stems from four distinct styles, including both upright and italic variations, ranging from light to black. The comprehensive glyph set supports almost 100 languages via the Latin Extended-A unicode block, and extends to basic Greek and Cyrillic, providing typographic adaptability across diverse global contexts. The font further distinguishes itself by offering stylistic sets, glyph substitutions that introduce subtle form changes between weights, and an extensive OpenType feature set. With 667 glyphs in each style, Beni offers creative flexibility for designers working on editorial layouts, branding, or digital interfaces.
