Postamp Grotesk is a modern condensed sans serif typeface that blends Grotesk and Geometric traditions with a refined vintage spirit. Inspired by American typography from the late 19th and early 20th centuries—particularly the lettering found on historic U.S. postage stamps—it reinterprets classic condensed forms through a contemporary lens.
The starting point for the design was a U.S. postage stamp featuring President James Buchanan. Its distinctive letterforms sparked a deeper exploration of stamp typography and early American type specimens, ultimately evolving into a versatile display type family. With open terminals, compact proportions, and carefully balanced geometry, Postamp Grotesk captures the elegance of the 1920s–30s while remaining unmistakably modern.
