Greenpoint Sans
mindsparkle.mag →
Greenpoint Sans is a condensed sans serif inspired by the storefronts and brick façades of Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood. Blending utilitarian grit with the eclectic spirit of local signage, it features tight proportions, raw geometry, and a confident rhythm—a distilled interpretation of Brooklyn's vernacular typography. Reverse italics and subtle irregularities echo the character of hand-painted neighborhood signage.
It started with collecting signage around the neighborhood, and slowly turned into a typeface. Greenpoint Sans translates these references into a condensed digital form, with a variable slant axis — both italic and reverse — reflecting how type appears across local storefronts. Available in Latin and Cyrillic, it’s a self-initiated project, free for both personal and commercial use.
Alongside the typeface, I created a zine documenting the ephemera behind the project. Printed on a risograph, it echoes the same transient, tactile quality of the source material.
