 Christine Gertsch’s Push is a comprehensive and immensely versatile system of eight weights at seven widths. |
|
With a nod to early American Gothics and European Grotesques and thanks to a clever curvature transformation across XCondensed and XWide, we’re delighted to introduce Push by Christine Gertsch.
Push is a vast and immensely versatile type system of eight weights at seven widths and has an incredible 56 styles.
Drawing on Christine Gertsch’s broad experience as a Visual Designer, Type Designer and Head of the CAS Type & Brand faculty at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), Push assumes a confident presence in any setting.
Its design echoes the letterforms of the first one hundred years of sans serifs yet carries its own weight in a very contemporary manner. The bold condensed, crossbar-less capital ‘G’ takes inspiration from Thorowgood’s 1830 Seven-Line Grotesque, while the lowercase ‘a’ follows in the same vein as Plak from 1930.
Some standout characteristics include a looped Anglo-American ‘g’, a Grotesk two-storey ‘g’ and an open-sloped ‘Danish g’ which all add to this magical mix of the Old and New world.
With an extensive range from extra-condensed to extra-wide and from extra-light to extra-bold, Push equips designers with an unparalleled typographic palette, offering huge versatility and variety ready to tackle any project.

 The typographic basis of Arcomed’s redesign is formed by the two fonts McQueen Grotesk Light and Medium. |
|
Based in Switzerland the infusion technology company Arcomed is a leader in providing continuous dosing systems for the (usually intravenous) administration of medicines and infusions. Having been established for over half a century, they have pioneered numerous innovations in this field, making an important contribution to patient safety and care.
In a bid to future proof their brand and translate the complexity of the world in which they operate, Arcomed instructed Konstanz-based art director Florian Rhiemeier and brand strategist Eduard Helmann (Sichtweise) to help reimagine and reinvigorate their visual identity.
Drawing on the beauty and precision of McQueen Grotesk Light and Medium, the new Arcomed brand is full of clarity and easily recognizable. As Eduard Helmann says, “When redesigning Arcomed AG, we first sharpened the brand and were then on the lookout for a typeface that had a technical feel, exuded precision and symbolized stability. With McQueen, we found exactly the typeface that expresses this.”

In this month’s big Glyph, Ulrike Rausch’s Supermarker Medium Italic takes center stage with a percent sign. Did you know that ‘percent’ is derived from the Latin ‘per centum’ which means ‘hundred’ or by the hundred? The sign itself originated as a contraction of the italian term ‘per cento’, which was shortened to ‘cento’ and was represented by two circles which were separated by a line.
