About

Store Norske Graut is inspired by a typeface documented in a 1930s lettering handbook. The alphabet is attributed to Bruno Frost, a mysterious figure with little known history. Presented in the handbook as a monospaced font, it sparks curiosity: who used monospaced lettering, and for what purpose? Graut is available with both monospaced and proportional spacing. The variable font version allows users to smoothly transition between these spacing styles while retaining consistent letterforms. The family includes three static font options: Mono (monospaced), Middle (partially proportional), and Normal (fully proportional), as well as one variable font that covers the full range between these spacings. Graut has proven popular for branding and cultural projects due to its visual flexibility and unique character, making it a compelling choice for designers seeking both versatility and distinction.

Store Norske Graut is designed by Arve Båtevik.
