Initially designed in the early-to-mid 1950s, Filmotype Giant is part of a larger group of condensed sans serifs offered by Filmotype at the demand of its customers based on their versatility, legibility, and timeless aesthetic.
Remastered and expanded with exacting precision from the original filmstrips, Filmotype Giant includes a full international character complement, automatic fractions, ordinals, and a suite of alternates in dynamic OpenType format.About the designer:
Finding itself securely at the historical crossroads between lead type and the computer revolution, the Filmotype library, developed in the 1950s and 1960s, grew to encompass several hundred fonts available to designers, providing typeface designs on 2-inch filmstrips.Filmotype initially manufactured a manual phototype machine enabling headline and display typesetting utilizing a photochemical development process, helping to revolutionize the process of advertising layout and lettering.
In 2006, Stuart Sandler and Font Diner revived the Filmotype marque, intending to create a high-quality digitization of this historic collection, adapted for the modern age.
