Agile Sans is a contemporary humanist font family with classicist roots. Hence its name, Agile Sans suits many occasions from branding to publications, web and applications. From formal to casual, bold to refined, this font covers it all.

Agile Sans comes with nine weights with corresponding true-italics. Built-in small capitals and several numeral styles are included as well.

If you’re seeking for an alternative to more common humanist sans serifs, look no further and grab a future classic.

Macho Moustache is closely related to Macho Modular, the parent type with which it shares modular widths and most letterforms. The difference is that Macho Moustache follows the ‘Grotesque' tradition of tight apertures for a, c, e and s as well as some of the numerals. Original design work started together with Macho Modular in 2008. Now the range and communication potential of the Macho family has been developed with five weights. Since the Macho family was designed bearing in mind the idea of Themerson’s semantic typography, Macho Moustache features all sets of modular brackets and underlinings.

Sempione Grotesk is a sans of ‘Swiss’ inspiration with a big x-height. It works well at all sizes, from small to large, and is suitable for both publishing and advertising. Starting from the study of Forma typeface, this font picks up some very different typographic tradition and ideas. These include ligatures and ornaments etc., usually associated with seriffed typefaces, and features typical of the Swiss school of sans serifs such as horizontal terminations and letters that tend to be of equal width.

Straightforward tone resulting in a modernist, Hergon Grotesk is a family of modern sans-serif. This Typeface is characterized by Neo-Grotesque which gives it a strong character, perfectly suited for any visual communication application. The family has 10 fonts ranging from thin to extrabold with matching italics.

Brillo Typeface stems from the effort of combining the modern look of a grotesque sans serif font with the elegance of the calligraphic copperplate’s swashes. The result is a typeface that is perfectly suitable for modern graphic applications, such as publishing, branding and web, but which has some ornamental features that differentiate it from all the other grotesque families.

Brillo doesn't want to be a neutral typeface. It’s a font with a strong personality, which can give outstanding aesthetic and conceptual relevance to the graphic projects which will be used in.

Brillo is a typeface thought for titling rather than for texts. For this reason it works better with character sizes bigger than 16 points.

Galderglynn 1884 is a nineteenth-century style sans-serif typeface. This is a refined expansion of another typeface called Galderglynn Esquire. Galderglynn Esquire was an intentionally rustic looking typeface based on a mixture or several pre-twentieth century grotesques employing deliberately unrefined weight and spacing. Galderglynn 1884 has at its base that same pastoral design but polished into a practical workhorse font family. The condensed fonts are slightly squared off with careful effort employed to keep the style squarely in the nineteenth-century—more like a typical condensed newspaper headline type than a twentieth-century superellipitcal like Eurostile or Univers. The extra-condensed “squeeze” fonts are completely flat-sided, not unlike old wooden poster types or extremely tight metal newspaper headline fonts.

If your application supports OpenType features, you can access tabular and lowercase (old-style) numerals. A Cyrillic alphabet is included as well as accents for common Latin languages. There are three special effect fonts available: all-capitals shadow and engraved regular and condensed styles.

Ramen Sans is a friendly grotesque type family with the warmth of serif types and a little bit of the edginess of geometric sans! Designed with body text in mind, it offers 5 weights (and their italics), small caps, lining figures, fractions, numerators, denominators, and supports the Adobe Latin 3 character set (most western and central European languages).

Introducing our foundry with the new Sans Serif typeface, Kommon™Grotesk, a super family with 96 styles. Different width from Extended to Compressed, variety of weights from Thin to Super, made Kommon™Grotesk suitable for multiple usage. The typeface was crafted till clean and simple. It has high ligibility with modern and clear look to be use as text or display font. Kommon™Grotesk is effective displaying on many medias, both print and on screen.

Malden Sans is a mischievous grotesque sans serif with charming details that gives designers a solid typographic voice. It was created by Michele Patanè with regular and condensed widths, as a utilitarian typeface family for print and digital environments.

It was originally designed as part of a type system for cinema magazines, and embodies the devil-may care attitude of the silver screen. Designer Michele Patanè looked back to an earlier era of typography to create the typeface, embracing unusual details, rather than ironing them out.

“There is a very naive way of using typography in the 30s and 40s, something not as clean as how it’s used in the late 50s and 60s when everything passed through a rationalisation of the typographic palette,” he explains. “In film magazines you can still see a bit of roughness, and I like that.”

This is a design that’s desperate to be used in editorial environments, and has been created to stand up to lower quality paper. It would be equally at home on posters, packaging, and even in digital environments where designers are looking for something more expressive than another geometric sans serif.

Malden Sans includes a Normal and Condensed range, with 7 weights in the normal and 6 in the Condensed, both including italics.

Abakadabra is a headline font inspired by sans-serifs of the first half of the twentieth century, as well as by the tricks of fakirs, illusionists and charmers. The gently playful manner of the font can be exaggerated to a more pretentious and grimacing one, or can alternatively be calmed to a neutral appearance. Abrakadabra supports most European languages and has thematic emoji symbols. The text can be customized by using stylistic sets or the Swashes and the Stylistic Alternates buttons in the OpenType panel.

HWT Konop is a monospaced (fixed-width) typeface that is also square! Designed by Mark Simonson (Proxima Nova) as square characters that can be arranged vertically or horizontally and in any orientation. To a traditional letterpress job printer, a font like this wouldn’t make much sense. But to a modern letterpress printer it is an unusual and creative design toolkit.

The bold gothic style is reminiscent of gothic wood types but more geometric. Since the characters are meant to be used in any orientation, the usual optical adjustments, such as making verticals thicker than horizontals and making tops smaller than bottoms are set aside. This results in a quirky but charming design.

To provide more design options, Simonson came up with a modular system consisting of three sizes: 12-line, 8-line, and 6-line. These three sizes can be used together like Lego® bricks, with endless arrangements possible. And the sidebearing match so that characters always align when different sizes are used together.

The digital version of Konop replicates the wood type version as much as possible, including the three different size designs. It includes OpenType stylistic sets that allow most characters to be rotated in place, 90° left, 90° right, or 180°, just like the wood type version. Extra characters not available in the wood type version are included with the digital fonts. The set of 3 is priced just $5 more than one single font, so order via “Package Options”

HWT Konop is named for Don Konop, a retired Hamilton Manufacturing employee, who worked from 1959 to 2003. In addition to serving on the Two Rivers Historical Society Board from 2004 to present-day, he was also instrumental as a volunteer in helping with the museum’s move to its current home in 2013.

Kruda is a Handcrafted display sans with 3 widths and 5 weights with accompanying slanted version. inspired by a vintage grotesk on a worn out signs and this was an initial sketch for our typeface Naratif, but it went too far. so we completed the language support for LATIN, CYRILLIC, and GREEK. and decided to take the risk to release it.

Ballinger began life as a single-weight proprietary typeface called baasic, designed for Dublin-based design office aad. baasic was intended as a plain, hardworking grotesque: a simple tool for clear communication. We’ve developed it into a fully-featured eight-weight family with matching italics. Sources include early 20th century jobbing sanses like Morris Benton’s News Gothic and Candia, a 70s-era typewriter face Josef Müller-Brockmann designed for Olivetti, which had unusually deep junctures that added energy to letters like m and n.

The family takes its name from Raymond A. Ballinger, the great mid-century American designer, author of ‘Lettering Art in Modern Use,’ and champion of elegance and readability. Ballinger has large counters and a generous x-height. Letters like a, e, and s open out gradually as they move from Thin to Black to maintain ample apertures, even in the darkest weights. Semi-oldstyle figures are available, as well as case-sensitive punctuation and delimiters. Italics incorporate subtle ogee curves to lend warmth and energy to the page or screen.

Handcrafted signs line the stoned walkways of old Italy. Some a century old, these often forgotten works of unknown artists remain etched across cities and villages. But now, they make their inviting impressions once again as the inspiration for insigne design’s Gineso Soft typeface.

Gineso Soft absorbs the personality of northern Italian posters, headlines and logotypes, providing a type especially nice for signs and titling with its condensed qualities. The font contains matching italics for the the eight weights and three widths. We’ve also included small features along with fractions and superior / inferior characters to broaden your options. Even more, Gineso Soft is ready for all applications and features a large character set for the languages ​​and literature of Europe.

So add a soft touch the next time you’re in a tight spot. Add Gineso Soft and make your project a work to be remembered.
