Radcliffe Hand is a typeface family designed by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini with the help of Giulia Ursenna Dorati, re-inventing our Radcliffe family as a handwritten typeface.

Each glyph of the original typeface has been lovingly traced by hand, interpreting every design quality as a calligraphic quirk, thus allowing Radcliffe Hand to live in the middle ground between type and writing. Thanks to its wide & highly legible humanist skeleton, imbued with the dynamic qualities of handwriting, the typeface works both in display and text sizes, balancing expressivity and readability, and excelling in editorial and packaging uses where you want the text to keep display quality without becoming too hard to read.

Radcliffe Hand has been developed in four weights plus an extra connected cursive version, Radcliffe Script, that can be used together with Radcliffe Hand or with the standard Radcliffe and Radcliffe Casual to add an extra touch of handwriting to your designs. All the Radcliffe Hand typefaces include over 400 glyphs with extended latin languages coverage, open type number positional forms and a set of twenty hand-drawn arrows that can be accessed through discretionary ligatures allowing easy creation of “fake handwritten” side notes to your text.

Konnect is a geometric sans serif type family featuring a blend of modern, classical, and playful characteristics. The simple, clean forms and classically-inspired proportions give it a timeless quality and interesting visual rhythm. A large x-height, closed apertures, and horizontal/vertical terminals provide for a more distinct appearance, especially in display settings. And the multiple swashes, stylistic alternates, and arrow icons are all available to enhance your typography.

This family includes a robust range of weights, from a fine and functional Hairline to a hefty and confident Black, each with italics. Konnect is ideal for branding, advertising, logos, magazines, headlines, and more, while its simplicity allows it to be a useful family for many occasions.

Konnect includes many OpenType features to enhance your design:

• Swashes
• Stylistic alternates
• Standard and discretionary ligatures
• Case-sensitive punctuation for All Caps
• Fractions, numerators, denominators
• Superscript, subscript

With over 600 glyphs, this font has extensive Latin language support (100+ Latin languages) for Western, Central, and South Eastern European.

As a graphic designer, sometimes it’s impossible not to be inspired by the Swiss Style, specifically the work of Armin Hofmann, who is one of its best exponents. Grids and grotesk and neo-grotesk typefaces are a fundamental part of the tools that make this aesthetic possible. A visual language that has caused full admiration since we were students. Therefore, we decided to design Armin as an homage to Hofmann’s work. Technically, we added stylistic sets applied to the letters –G, R, a, g, h, l, r, t, u, y– to make Armin more eclectic and suitable for the creation of any visual language.

Operetta is a neo-didone display font family inspired on Bodoni, Didot (early 18th century) and Walbaum (19th century). Despite of this heritage, Operetta’s design meets contemporary taste and typesetting needs.

Five optical sizes give you control over the font’s readability on different sizes. Eight weights from Extra Light to Extra Bold let you set your tone: from delicate to exuberant.

Operetta’s generous character set and opentype features let you meet the most demanding layout needs. And don’t forget swashes, arrows and other extra glyphs (911 per style)!

The number displayed in the font family name represents the minimal size (in points) the style should be used in print design. In web design you should multiply the minimum value by 3/2 for a retina screen; multiply by 2 for a 72 dpi screen. Of course its rendering depends on the printing support, screen resolution, hinting support, etc. Therefore, take it as a suggestion or a starting point; make your own trials.

Rough monospace type with cowboy boots: Here is Justice! Initially designed in 2004, Justice has been totally rethought in 2017 for the visual identity of Ceinturama. For this new version the fixed-width principle has been used to turn this typeface into a kind of construction game. A series of decorative accessories (systems of borders, arrows and ornaments) have been developed in order to make typesetting more playful.
Designed from the outset to be as comfortable on screen, on paper as on wall, Justice has aesthetic qualities suitable for handmade signage. It’s your turn to play!
