# Casino Grotesk 3.2

A geometric sans serif family by Francesco Romeo for **è un casino**.
24 static styles: four weights, three widths and upright / 9° oblique.

The family keeps its single-storey a and g, flat terminals and deep
parentheses. Version 3.2 redraws e without a stepped crossbar, gives l / t / j
continuous curves and rounds the bowls of b / d / p / q. Lighter horizontal
bars and refined f / r terminals keep small letters open and separated.
The uppercase (È) mark retains its original solemn form.

Use Regular for smaller text and Medium / Bold for stronger headings.
The lowercase has been reviewed at 16, 24 and 48 pixels in all 24 styles.
For long reading, it can also be paired with Helvetica, Arial or a system
sans serif. Keep a system-font fallback for scripts outside its coverage.

## Install

Open the files in `fonts/ttf/` to install desktop fonts. Install only the
styles you need. The widths appear as Casino Grotesk, Casino Grotesk
Condensed and Casino Grotesk Extended; Light and Medium can appear as
separate menu families in older applications.

## Use on a website

Copy the `fonts` directory into your site. Load `fonts/casino-grotesk.css`,
which registers all 24 styles using WOFF2 and WOFF fallbacks, or copy only
the declarations you need. Font files are requested when a style is used.

```css
h1 {
  font-family: "Casino Grotesk", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  font-weight: 500;
  font-synthesis: none;
}
```

Use weight 300 / 400 / 500 / 700 and style normal / italic. The italic styles
are obliques: their skeletons are slanted 9° before the stroke is drawn.
This is a static family, not a variable font.

## Coverage

Latin A–Z / a–z, tabular figures, punctuation, common symbols, Italian
accents, French accents and ligatures (Æ æ Œ œ), and German umlauts / ß.
Capital German ß (ẞ), combining marks, Greek, Cyrillic and non-Latin scripts
are not included. Use precomposed accented characters (Unicode NFC).

## Rebuild

Python 3.10 or newer and the dependencies in `fonts/requirements.txt`:

```sh
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -r fonts/requirements.txt
.venv/bin/python tools/build_font.py
```

This generates all TTF / WOFF / WOFF2 files, SVG logos, outline proof sheets
and a new release ZIP in `downloads/`. For a quick Regular-only proof,
append `--quick`; this does not create a release archive.
