A graceful sans from Typotheque, a modern grotesk by Suitcase Type, a contemporary serif from Bold Monday, a letterpress family by Yellow Design, a versatile sans from Milieu Grotesque, a brush script by Doubletwo, a bold display face from Monokrom, and a modern sign painter family by Kyle Wayne Benson.



Typotheque: Valter


Designed by Nikola Djurek



Valter is a graceful and slightly cheeky collection of sans-serif display fonts inspired by pointed-pen writing.


Suitcase Type Foundry: Urban Grotesk


Designed by Tomáš Brousil



Urban Grotesk attempts to follow the best of traditions of Grotesk typefaces: rounded arches, slightly thinner connecting strokes and a vertical shadowing axis, where outstrokes are terminated strictly in perpendicular to the stroke direction.


Bold Monday: Brando


Designed by Mike Abbink



Brando is a contemporary serif with humanist proportions, exploring the balance between mechanical and egyptian forms.


Yellow Design Studio: Eveleth


Designed by Ryan Martinson



Eveleth is a high-resolution letterpress family with exceptional realism and vintage charm.


Milieu Grotesque: Patron


Designed by Timo Gaessner



Patron is an expressive yet versatile grotesk, characterized by a generous x-height, distinctive stroke endings and an unconventional shift in balance.


Doubletwo Studios: XXII YeahScript


Designed by Lecter Johnson



XXII YeahScript is a brush script with a large range of alternates — a great fit for any sign painter job.


Monokrom: Mønster


Designed by Sindre Bremnes



Mønster’s odd letter forms and exaggerated shapes combine into powerful, vigorous patterns, making a bold statement of any title.


Kyle Wayne Benson: Kansas Casual


Designed by Kyle Benson



Kansas Casual provides a completely unique take on a overdone classic with proportions and crossbar heights inspired by the more friendly Chicago style.
