an entry in the second linotype design contest, linotype brewery, designed by gustavs andrejs grinbergs, became part of the taketype collection in 1997. brewery no 2 represents a significantly improved version of its precursor, and the typeface has been both extended and enhanced. when asked about prototypes, grinbergs cites german typefaces of the early 20th century. it is thus not surprising that the characters of brewery™ no 2 are based on geometrical forms. however, this is no mere synthetic grotesque-derived typeface. it has significant contrasts in line thickness and triangular line terminals that are not unlike serifs, placing it in the middle ground somewhere between a grotesque and serif font. the contrast between the features of a synthetic grotesque and an antiqua gives the characters of brewery no 2 their distinctive charm and is the distinguishing attribute of this contemporary typeface. additional vibrancy is provided by bevelled line endings (as in the case of the 'e' and the 'f'), the circular punctuation marks and the slight curve of the descending bar of the 'k'. thanks to a generous x-height and its open counters, brewery no 2 is also highly legible in small point sizes. only in its bolder versions is another aspect of brewery no 2 apparent; grinbergs has here made the linking elements more rectangular and has emphasized the counters, so that the bold variants of brewery no 2 exhibit elements typical of a broken typeface. brewery no 2 is available in seven finely graduated weights, ranging from light to black. every variant has a corresponding, slightly narrower italic version. in addition, the lowercase 'a' is given a closed form, the 'e' is more rounded and the 'f' has a descender. the character sets of brewery no 2 leave nothing to be desired. in addition to small caps and ligatures, there are various numeral sets with old style and lining figures for setting proportional text and table columns. in its most extensive form (the pan-european variant), brewery no 2 can be used to set texts in many languages that employ the latin alphabet and also texts in international languages that use cyrillic or monotonic greek orthography. although some of the features of brewery no 2, such as the tiny serifs, are only evident in the larger point sizes, this typeface is not just at home when used to set headlines. brewery no 2 also cuts a good figure in short or medium length texts. this contemporary typeface with its formally elegant quality looks good, for example, on posters, in newspapers and promotional material. it can also be used for websites as it is also available as a web font.
