Breaking is the new custom typeface designed for Ekstra Bladet, one of largest and most widely read Danish tabloids. Built for both visual impact and versatility, the family spans six widths, from Extra Condensed to Expanded, with nine weights from Thin to Black (including variable support!) that allows it to compress or expand to fit any typographic layout. This makes Breaking ideal for the typography-heavy tabloid, whether for bold, expressive headlines or for dense article body text.
Breaking is a contemporary interpretation of modernism’s neo-grotesque sans serif typefaces. Staying true to its ancestors in its original shape, but packed with OpenType features for bespoke expressions, including ligatures, case-sensitive forms, tabular and old-style figures, and stylistic alternates. Additionally, Breaking includes text-optimized styles with extended ascenders, descenders, and punctuation for improved legibility.
