A deco style numbers font from Joshua Mayfield, a calligraphic text family by District, a ligature packed display face from Nootype, a contemporary stencil by Atlas Font Foundry, a family of contradictions from Typotheque, a flexible gothic digitized for the first time by Hamilton Wood Type, and a single face with 9 fonts within from DSType.



Joshua Mayfield: Roloi


Designed by Joshua Mayfield



Originally inspired by the numerals on a vintage clock face, Roloi is a layered numbers font in the deco lettering style, and includes a full set of automatic clock symbols.


District: Fair Sans Text


Designed by Galen Lawson



The natural follow-up to the popular Fair Sans — now a text family based on the calligraphic structure and casual construction of its predecessor.


Nootype: Fitigraf


Designed by Nico Inosanto



Fitigraf is a mix between a classical serif font and graffiti street art.


Atlas Font Foundry: Heimat Stencil


Designed by Christoph Dunst



Heimat Stencil is the monospaced typeface family within the Heimat Collection, also containing Heimat Sans and Heimat Mono.


Typotheque: The Lumin Family


Designed by Nikola Djurek



The Lumin Family includes slab-serif, sans-serif, condensed and display typefaces, all of which play with the idea of contradiction.


Hamilton Wood Type Foundry: HWT Unit Gothic


Designed by James Todd



The Unit Gothic series was originally released by Hamilton Manufacturing Co. in 1907. This set of 7 fonts was designed to aid in press room efficiency and its incremental variation in widths gave poster printers unprecedented flexibility in fitting copy while using consistently harmonious fonts.


DSType: Diversa


Designed by Dino dos Santos & Pedro Leal



Diversa is a typeface that takes a very different path from the most fonts, both in terms of appearance and usability. Diversa is a single typeface with 9 fonts within, containing 2760 glyphs, divide in 9 stylistic sets.
