GC Grind is about as compact as a bold sans gets. Glyphonic drew it with tall, heavy letters, tight spacing and small inktrap notches where strokes meet, which you can see in the N of GRIND. The numbers are just as strong: a big “1986” fills the second specimen almost edge to edge.
It was published in 2025 and Glyphonic lists support for more than 170 languages. The “Swimwear Summer” poster shows how well it handles a two-word headline on a coloured background. The free files here include OTF and TTF.

Font pairings
Grind is loud, so its partners should be quiet. Inter is good for body copy. Space Grotesk adds a slightly playful, modern touch. For a softer accent, a script like Caveat works on food menus.
