A geometric script by Kyle Wayne Benson, a technical workhorse from Hold Fast Foundry, a lined display by TipoType, a classic grotesque from Parachute, an upright script by Stephen Rapp, a contemporary family from PSY/OPS, a geometric sans by Nootype, and an elegant script from Misprinted Type.



Kyle Wayne Benson: Millie


Designed by Kyle Benson



Millie is a stressed, geometric script who spends her days as industrial lettering and her nights paired with blackletter on the patches of motorcycle gangs.


Hold Fast Foundry: Industry


Designed by Mattox Shuler



Forged from geometric and technical styles, Industry stands sturdy and strong.


TipoType: Arya


Designed by Vicente Lamónaca



Arya is a display typeface, based on Roman proportions. It has three versions, differentiated by the amount of the drawn lines.


Parachute: Das Grotesk


Designed by Panos Vassiliou



Das Grotesk was inspired by earlier nineteenth-century grotesques, but it is much more related to American gothic designs such as those by M.F. Benton.


Stephen Rapp: Baghadeer


Designed by Stephen W. Rapp



Baghadeer is an upright connecting script brimming with personality.


PSY/OPS Type Foundry: Carouge


Designed by André Simard



Carouge is a contemporary typeface that has a classical twist.


Nootype: Radikal


Designed by Nico Inosanto



Radikal is a geometric font dedicated to the research of purity.


Misprinted Type: Mercy


Designed by Eduardo Recife



Very similar to ornamental penmanship, but uses slightly longer ascenders & descenders, and modest shading.
