Super Grotesk: matching italic

remote22 October 2009 · 10:47

... as the title suggests, I’m on the search for a italic/oblique that matches FF’s Super Grotesk close enough to look akin.

FB’s ’Nobel’ is on the plate and looks almost just right - if it wasn’t for the difference in weight. ’Nobel book’ is too light to fit, ’Nobel Regular’ feels almost bold.

Does anyone know similar typefaces that might come close?

You could try one of the million versions of Futura.

I think you should go for another geometric sans, if you need obliques/italics.
Futura, Nobel, Verlag …
Or a horrible “solution”, slant it electronically …

Neutraface No.2

With Neutraface 2 you have the same issues as a “Super Grotesk Italic”.
