Calibre is a sans inspired by engineered geometry

Die Grotesk was shaped in the long shadow of Helvetica, a typeface both revered and resented in equal measure. Graphic designers love it. Type designers hate it. Endlessly revived and resold, simultaneously banal and sublime, its forms feel inevitable.

Family is an everyday typeface based on Clearface—originally designed by father and son, Morris Fuller and Linn Boyd Benton. As an extension of its lineage, Family keeps Clearface’s easy-going curves and idiosyncrasies, while updating it for modern use.

Martina Plantijn is a better Plantin. Informed by the workhorse qualities of Frank Hinman Pierpont’s typeface and expanding upon his research of 16th century type at the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, Martina Plantijn makes decisive digital updates across its roman and italic cuts.

Metric is a geometric sans inspired by Berlin street signs

Signifier is a Brutalist response to 17th century typefaces. Designed by Kris Sowersby, Signifier’s digital immateriality draws on a deeply material past. Acknowledging the processes and tools of digital form-making, Sowersby worked consciously with the computer to recast the lead, antimony, and tin of the 17th century Fell Types into ones and zeros. Signifier emerged from this alchemy with Bézier curves and sharp vectors determined by machine logic and a Brutalist ethos.
