Lion & Hare is an ultra compressed, tall font family that portrays strength and power. The condensed characters maintain fairly square edges to give a more consistent geometric & industrial look to the font. The font family supports 27 languages and comes in 6 styles. Lion and Hare works fantastic for website headers, magazine layouts, logos, branding and much more.

Litmus is the newest typeface from ITF founder Satya Rajpurohit. It is a slightly condensed humanist sans serif design, with a tall x-height and strokes that end with either horizontal or vertical terminals, instead of diagonals. Ascenders rise noticeable above the tops of capital letters, while the fonts’ numerals are slightly shorter than the caps. Litmus’s interior counterforms are rather open. There are five weights on offer: the Light is monolinear, but the stroke-contrast grows with every weight. The amount of contrast in the Bold is quite high. Each Litmus font makes use of a double-storey ‘a’ and single-storey ‘g’. The fonts may be put to excellent use for text on websites, or in print – especially in documents where a little space-saving is necessary.

Protipo helps information designers work smarter.

Veronika Burian and José Scaglione’s Protipo type family is an information designer’s toolbox: a low-contrast sans of three text widths with a separate headline family, accompanied by an impressive two-weight icon set, and working with the advanced variable (VAR) font format. From annual reports and wayfinding to front page infographics and poster use, designers consistently turn to the simplicity and starkness of grotesque sans fonts to get their point across. Protipo is made for such environments.

When designing information you may start with the headline, which in the case of this family is called Protipo Compact and comes in eight weights. From Hairline to Black, set it large, overlap it, or let it run off the page. Protipo Compact was made to hit hard and attract attention with a different character set and different proportions than the three text fonts. It sets the stage for what’s to come.

Great information designers are aces at melding form and function, so we’ve stacked the Protipo family with Narrow, Regular, and Wide versions as a way of organising your information and directing the reader. Each width has seven distinct weights (light to bold) and italics, while maintaining the round-rect shapes of its DNA. Subtle details amplify its place in the typographic universe, like an ‘a’ and ‘e’ that go from solid to supple when italicising, an ‘f’ that gains an italic descender, two versions of the lowercase ‘r’ and ‘l’, and clipped corners on diagonals to keep the tight fit inherent to this kind of design work.

Protipo is not meant to be loudmouthed, but stakes its claim through refinement, breadth, and impact. Some changes at first don’t seem substantial, but the Protipo family doesn’t handle text like most in its category. Protipo helps readers find and process data in a clear and unequivocal way and accounts for the complexity involved in rendering large amounts of information while still appealing to aesthetics.

Protipo is ideal in all informative situations: apps, infographics, UI, wayfinding, transport, posters, display, and even internet memes. Add to all this the icon sets and upcoming variable font capability, and you’re assured a level of creativity, productivity, and impact on a much greater scale.

Cybernaut is a bold, distinctive display font with a futuristic feel. It is ideal for all branding, advertising and publishing projects, and particularly well suited to science and science-fiction based applications. It boldly goes where no font has gone before!
