Mono
Using the MONO style as the basis for the design, the constraints of fixed width type setting become guiding principles. Not merely refinements or opt-in styling, each design decision is the inevitable outcome of spatial limitation. This conceptual foundation lends a straightforward naïveté to the entire design.SERIAL: 004981-AX

Semi
The SEMI subfamily sits between the more mechanical MONO and the more actively rhythmical POLY designs. It features the appearance of a monospace typeface without being truly monospaced.Poly
The POLY subfamily is a geometric sans, contrasting wide circular shapes with narrow characters to create an active texture, and a more punctuated rhythm than its siblings.is the

Family
Across the three subfamilies, consistent concepts are expressed in varying intensity. Rather than optimizing for an intended size or use, GT Mechanik invites each designer to find the tone that suits their message.Iconic Characters
Simple shapes, not organic but mechanical, paired with a brute force way of letter construction make these characters fast and dynamic.Notes: Repeating fragment detected.
