Radar is a revival of the sans serif typeface “Grotesca Radio”, from the Spanish foundry Richard Gans, which existed from 1888 to 1975. His authorship is attributed to the German type designer and master punchcutter Carl Winkow. Although the new version of this font has always tried to keep accurate similarities with the original typeface, Radar is not intended as a strict revival, but as a contemporary interpretation. In this new version the user can find some alternate characters that give the typeface a more art-déco or neutral flair.

On the basis of the classical form, Shapiro meets all the requirements that are placed on a good font, such as good readability, a sympathetic overall impression, as well as a balanced gray effect.

This 34-font family sets itself apart from the crowd with: + A very good, clean and timeless design + From very slight to very strong + Carefully spaced and kerned + Separate cuts for longer passages of text + Well-designed diacritical marks + Simple font licensing +++ Try the brand’s freebies +++ The only thing you can do now is to license the complete family and tell everyone about it.

Ostbahnhof is a headline font inspired by both german blackletter and hand-painted signs. The 4 weights can be combined together to achieve a fancy letterpress effect, where slightly rounded corners are not proportional to the font size. Not sure what I'm talking about? Have a look at the examples.
