Fraktion Sans is a contemporary grotesque exploring the space between mechanical sturdiness and expressive clarity. While its inspiration stems from vintage signage lettering, the final design is a rather far departure. The square shape and the compact capitals are the only remnants of the original influence and when set in all-caps the industrial spirit is vaguely present. Even so the typeface has been shaped to a modern, versatile allrounder with a slight technical feel that works great in sober applications for screen and in editorial - and still maintains character to be a strong voice in branding. An exaggerated spur on the lowercase 'a' and ink traps are defining visual characteristics just as the squared-off rounds’ true verticals help create a steady cadence. The proportional Sans is complemented by a fixed-width design: Fraktion Mono. The refitted letter shapes of the monospaced design add a surprising playfulness to a genre that generally feels more technical, making Fraktion Mono’s cuts the more informal bunch of the family. Both typefaces offer plenty of typographic solutions through OpenType features like case sensitive punctuation, stylistic alternates, fractions and slashed zero. The 7 upright weights each have an italic counterpart and both sets are available as variable fonts.
ABC Solar is a highly customizable geometric sans with a large weight spectrum and matching italics.

PP Neue York is a sans serif shaped by the city’s layered visual noise: the bodega awnings, the worn American gothics, the mosaic station tiles, the endless rhythm of Avenues and Streets. The goal was to capture all of that and fold it into a contemporary type system that still carries a vintage pulse: clean in structure, functional in spirit, but gently rough around the edges, like something that has lived out in the open. Its three widths (Normal, Narrow and Condensed) shift in density the way the city shifts block by block. Neue York is built as a 48-style family: 8 weights from Thin to Black, each with its own italic, spread across three widths. The widths were drawn with deliberately different x-heights to suit different roles, the Condensed is taller and tighter for headlines, while the Normal has proportions better suited for text and continuous reading. Despite these differences, the family maintains a strong sense of consistency across styles, which allows it to work effectively in both display and text settings.
