Theinhardt Optimo is a classic Grotesk typeface designed by François Rappo. It is named after Ferdinand Theinhardt, a punchcutter and type designer (Halle 1820–Berlin 1909), whose radical design approach led to the contemporary modern sans-serifs.

François Rappo developped the Theinhardt family after researching the DNA of Grotesks from the early 20th century to design an optically optimized contemporary font family organized in a wide range of weights.

Released in OpenType format only, it features extended latin character set, tabular and proportional figures, contextual and stylistic alternates, case-sensitive forms and arrows.
