Just My Type (27)

We're just nuts about typography. Font maniacs, as we like to say. Ten years ago, when we began this business, you could count the number of web-safe fonts on two-hands. Today, thanks to the Google Fonts project and several other brilliant coding groups, your choices are endless. We celebrate by featuring our newest favorite font on the first Friday of every month! You can also learn about typography on the web and in print, plus view some of our favorite work!

Gioviale: Jan 2014 Fav Font

Graphic designers with a lust for lettering are constantly seeking scripts balanced neatly on the sweet spot suited for exuberant editorial work and messages of cheer. Neither frivolous nor strict. Gioviale, satisfies that need.

Your work may call for a script that is handsome without being overly formal, that is merry, playful, and, like a good Italian pastry dough, hasn't been overly handled until it is left stiff and flat. Use Gioviale to create something tasty, al dente, a touch ornate yet fluent and full of life. Its versatility is exemplified in its greater readability at small sizes compared to other scripts, as well as the included alternates and swashes.

Cyntho Slab: Nov 2013 Fav Font

Lately we're doing a lot of print campaigns, and have been favoring Bebas, League Gothic and Arvo. Looking to mix it up, we gave this a try and loved it! Cyntho Slab is a modern geometric slab serif with eight weights varying from Thin to Black and featuring extensive language support including Cyrillic and Greek scripts.

Unlike most geometric slab faces, it offers optional upright and real italics, wrapped in OpenType ‘stylistic alternates’ feature, or stylistic set #02, where sets can be applies separately. The small caps are included as well. This typeface is great for use in magazines, posters, advertising, corporate identity, and more.
