Nigggli Sans Display Semibold

Nigggli is a Swiss sans-serif typeface rooted in the tradition of systematic modernism and typographic precision. Its name refers to a historical typo found in the imprint of Karl Gerstner’s Kompendium, a small error that became a quiet witness to the material conditions of its time.

The typeface pays homage to phototypesetting and the mechanical logic of the Diatype Revolver system — with its characteristic peng-peng rhythm — translating this industrial, procedural aesthetic into a contemporary digital font.

With its neutral structure and functional clarity, Niggli is suited for editorial design, information systems, and conceptual graphic work where typographic history and modern application intersect. Font comes as TTF file.

Nigggli — a Swiss sans serif shaped by systems, machines, and a moment of typographic imperfection.
