No — Px Grotesk isn’t listed as a free font. Optimo releases it, so licence options and pricing sit on their site.
Px Grotesk is a sans-serif typeface from Optimo.
Start with Optimo’s other releases — Artex, Antique Legacy, Basel, and Plain. They come from the same studio that drew Px Grotesk, and A1 has 5 websites using them.
Px Grotesk was designed from the rendering of typographic curves on screens. At smaller sizes, pixels sometimes brutally simplify shapes. Taking this paradox as his starting point, Nicolas Eigenheer designed a typeface that embeds a pixel-grid structure into a classic, optically adjusted drawing. The result of this method is a series of hybrid shapes that combine formal solutions from both domains. The signature pixelated look is preserved in the typeface and creates a contradictory relationship between a grid and a flexible line.
A1 features 4 websites using Px Grotesk, including Swim Club, Websites of the Year, and Keto. They lean towards Dark, Lines, and Sans-serif design styles, and they’re most often built with Shopify, Readymag, and Wordpress.
