This crisp and constructed Ludwig Wagner, Leipzig, blackletter font in textura style had been originally designed by Berthold Wolpe. Freshly redrawn and redesigned, it adds now to the treasure trove of historic typefaces. This font contains a bunch of useful ligatures, and by typing ‘N’, ‘r’ and period plus activating the discretionary ligatures you get an oldstyle numbersign. As usual in my blackletter fonts, the # key is occupied by the ‘round’ s.

A typographic treasure, originated in the Biedermeier epoch at the beginning of the 19th century, had been brought back to life. With its charming touch it makes a wonderful font for reprints and historically relevant projects.This font contains a bunch of useful ligatures, and by typing 'N', 'r' and period plus activating the discretionary ligatures you get an old style number sign.

We worked with the eBay brand team and the New York based design agency Form&. Market Sans’ style came from the Capital typeface, a font from our Lab department. eBay bought the exclusive rights for developing a complete font family and taking it out of the market. This typeface was a fusion between the neo-grotesque style of the Suisse Int’l and the geometric shapes of the Euclid Flex typeface. Market Sans is a brand-new family including six weights with italics.

Canoe is a fun, all-caps font with a delightfully hand-written feel. It comes “water ready” to be used in the wild on the web, save the dates, and other design projects that need a homemade touch. Its characters are wiry and tall with crossbars that hit at varying heights. Canoe also includes 1st, 2nd, 3rd ordinal capabilities as well as fractions.

Phi is a simple geometric sans, inspired by the Golden Ratio. It is rock solid, versatile, legible and excellent for both text and display usage.

Fairfield is a fifty-year-old typeface that has had a recent facelift. Rudolph Ruzicka, artist and book illustrator, designed light and medium weights of Fairfield for Linotype in 1940 and 1949, respectively. For Fairfield’s 1991 release as an electronic typeface, designer Alex Kaczun added bold and heavy weights. With its straight, unbracketed serifs and abrupt contrast between thin and thick strokes, Fairfield harks back to the modern typefaces of Bodoni and Didot, but has a distinctly twentieth-century look. Fairfield is a fine text face, both for books and shorter texts. Kaczun added small capitals and old style figures, swash capitals, and a set of “caption” typefaces (sloped roman style) that were inspired by Matthew Carter's extensions to Oldstyle 7 for National Geographic magazine.

Montecatini takes its cues from the elegant Stile Liberty travel posters of Italy in the early 1900s. The font features distinctive ligatures typical of the time when Art Nouveau emerged as a worldwide phenomenon. Everything looks better in Montecatini, from book jackets to monograms to packaging and logos—and the wide selection of ligatures make copyfitting a delight.

Francois Rappo’s latest project is a significant outcome of his design practice anchored in the research of typographic paradigms. In the mapping of serif typography, Practice introduces a new perspective with an unprecedented sharpness. While its architecture revisits the elegance of Renaissance typography, an innovative calligraphic drawing was achieved to reach a crisp digital identity. The precise texture of Practice is outstanding on both paper and screen. The optical balance of the text rythm offers a clear reading with a contemporary aesthetic. Practice is declined in a consistent gradient of styles to provide a complete tool for magazines, books and newspapers. The family is structured in three display weights designed for larger sizes and six roman weights for smaller sizes plus their matching italics. Each style offers five series of numerals, small caps and an extended ligature set.
