Initially, the Oceanic collection consisted only of text and display serifs inspired by the fat faces of the 18th and 19th centuries. Due to the shapes of lowercase letters like c and e, which resembled prehistoric marine predators, the typefaces were originally called Piranha, not Oceanic.
Later, the collection was expanded with a monospaced serif and two sans serifs — Oceanic Grotesk, exploring the modernist approach to typography in the mid-20th century, and Oceanic Gothic, which inherited its design decisions from the Oceanic serif and the first grotesques of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
All fonts in the collection have the same vertical metrics, so they will work excellently together in a single layout.
