Baton Turbo
5 weights with italics
Designed by Yassin Baggar and Anton Koovit
Baton Turbo is a grotesque that combines a
simple straightforward formal approach with eccentric
letter shapes inspired by french vernacular
typography. The objective was to adapt our
previously released Baton, with its small x-height
and condensed proportions, into a versatile typeface,
while maintaining as much of the character
and unpretentious elegance that was captured in
the original creation as possible. All the design
choices — the proportions, the spacing, the
wide range of weights — have been made for
Baton Turbo to work well in the various settings
that modern typography, both print and digital,
present.
Baton Turbo includes a wide range of OpenType
features such as ligatures, alternate letters, tabular
and lowercase figures, fractions, super and
subscripts, uppercase alternates, and a stylistic
set of uppercase with thin accents for headlines
with tight leading.
Baton Turbo is a spin-off from Baton, initially commissioned
for a redesign of french GQ magazine.
