Bodoni Z37 is a twenty-first century Didone typeface with a dynamic range of widths, weights and optical sizes. Stylistically, what really sets it apart from other typefaces in its category are flat sides and a geometric Deco style. Razor thin lines are captivating at large sizes but can be hard to deal with when you get really small. Rather than compromising, Bodoni Z37 was created with three optical sizes:

• Large (Bodoni Z37 L) with high contrast, fine lines and tight spacing
• Small (Bodoni Z37 S) with sturdy lines, more generous spacing
• Medium (Bodoni Z37 M) which is right in-between

Bodoni Z37’s cute, curly italics have loose spacing for clarity and emphasis. Lining numerals are kerned and proportionally spaced. There are OpenType fractions, numeric ordinals and old-style (lowercase) numerals too. Almost all current Latin-based languages are supported as well as Greek and Cyrillic. Four weights, four widths, italics and 3 optical sizes add up to a whopping 96 fonts. There are lots of other Didones and Bodonis to choose from but investing in something contemporary and versatile like Bodoni Z37 will end up saving you lots of time and money.

Pele is a champion typeface, a larger than life headline face inspired by the legendary football star. Strong and definitely unique. FS Pele looks great in posters.

Made you look? There’s a peculiar feel to the letters – achieved by the reversed contrast. Perfectly legible yet there’s something about the characters that makes them stand out. As Viktor Shklovsky once coined, ”Habitualization devours objects” – the everyday world becomes invisible until we are forced to see it otherwise.

The Portland font family is a tool of choice when you want to effortlessly make your designs stand out.

Rolphie can be your go-to sans-serif, with 16 easy-to-read weights and 10 versions for each weight, and the subtlety of choice that represents. The versions contained in each weight are: Regular; Condensed; Half-Condensed; Expanded; Small Capitals: and their italic counterparts. (At heavier weights particularly it seemed to be justified to have two Condensed versions). Plus there's 20 funky versions with the letters all shook up (that would make a good title for a song), or jumbled around, plus some Shadow, Doubled-Up, College, and other FX versions.  

In total there's 180 variations, giving a comprehensive selection of both standard and funky fonts, and that subtle degree of choice of weight. To make things easier, the weights are put in ascending numerical order from 01 to 16, and the FX versions have been stuck in the 80s and 90s, (like two musicians I know). 

There are grouped packages available for certain weights (which have 10 fonts in them) and the complete family package (180 fonts) which represent better value than the individual fonts, and there's a basic package containing the Normal and Italic versions of all 16 weights (32 fonts). A limit of 5 sub-family packages has been imposed, unfortunately, which precludes a more comprehensive selection. 

To let you know what's in the font that you might otherwise never know about . . .  

With Discretionary Ligatures on, you get special characters if you type  Mc St. Rd. Bd. Ave. c/o No. (p) (P)  - include the full-stop/period.  

With Stylistic Alternates switched on, you get plenty of extra characters - including a WiFi symbol (type Wifi or WiFi) / bullet numbers instead of ordinary numbers / that different U-dieresis / special characters for c/o No. Mc / an upside down ~ / a huge bullet, and different forms for cent, dollar, percent, per-thousand. 

As you'd expect, there's all the accented characters for all Western European scripts using Latin letters, and standard ligatures, plus other Open Type features including Class Kerning, Slashed-Zero, Historical Forms, Sub- and Superscript numbers, fractions for halves, thirds and quarters, Ornamental forms giving bullet numbers, etc. There's also the main mathematical operators, symbols like card-suits and male/female signs and so on, and some more obscure stuff like schwa and O-horn, U-horn - and there's lots more if you can Access All Alternates. Much will depend on what your software recognises.  

The Small Caps versions have (intentionally) lost the ligatures for lower case ff, fi, fj, fl, fr, fu, ffi, ffj, ffl, ffr, ffu. 

The names for the weights are not absolute - we had to make up some names to make them stretch out to sixteen - so rather - see them as relative to each other, being in ascending numerical order by weight.  

Device™ display typeface is inspired by industrial type used for decals and signage. This typeface pairs nicely with geometric sans serifs like Cerebri Sans and HK Grotesk.

Labour Grotesk is a versatile, modern grotesque family of six weights, boasting numerous alternates to help you stand out or blend in. It boasts wide counters, perfectly horizontel ascenders and descenders, creating a typographic aesthetic that is distinct and clean.
