A no-nonsense sans from Lineto, a layered type system by Latinotype, a charming hand made face from Voltage LTD, delicate and flowing curves courtesy of Typesenses, a contemporary sans by VirusFonts, a classic titling serif from Domahoka, a Swiss inspired sans by Wordshape, and a modern sans from Nootype.



Lineto: LL Circular


Designed by Laurenz Brunner



Strikes a balance between conceptual rigour, skilled workmanship and measured idiosyncrasy, resulting in a no-nonsense sans-serif text font with unmistakable character yet universal appeal.


Latinotype: Trend Hand Made


Designed by Daniel Hernández & Paula Nazal Selaive



A typeface made of layers — Trend is trending.


Voltage LTD: Oaf


Designed by Ray Fenwick



Painted on a wall by an eccentric Canadian with a paint roller. The result is an unusual combination of straight, evenly weighted strokes and rough, handmade charm.


Typesenses: Wishes Script


Designed by Sabrina Mariela Lopez



Wishes Script offers a complete range of possibilities: frames, ribbons, hearts, flowers, ornaments, swashes, endings, ligatures and all the alternates you need.


VirusFonts: Doctrine Sans


Designed by Jonathan Abbott, Jonathan Barnbrook, and Julián Moncada



A contemporary sans-serif typeface with an agreeable character, Doctrine Sans is the moderate comrade of the display typeface Doctrine Stencil. By blending elements of twentieth-century neo-grotesque, humanist and geometric styles, Doctrine is at once universal and idiosyncratic.


Domahoka: Uchronia


Designed by Mark Ho-Kane



A classic serif titling face ideal for setting at large sizes; slightly condensed, light, with a very fine weight on its thinnest strokes.


Wordshape: Vaud


Designed by Ian Lynam



A family of 40 weights of neutral, yet formally nuanced grotesk typefaces that takes inspiration from Helvetica, Akzidenz Grotesk, Univers and the original metal types from Switzerland, yet had a slightly larger x-height for more pronounced legibility.


Nootype: Selfica


Designed by Nico Inosanto



The sans-serif version of Selfico, designed by Nico Inosanto in 2013.
