I love type. I love working with type. I hate when my options for a slanted complement is only oblique or italic. I set out to produce both to balance
usage — there are more than enough reasons to prepare both and I want
the user to feel free to consciously choose (and have the option to
choose) the appropriate typeface for print, web, etc. That flexibility
was central to my decision-making process. The Oblique is immediate and
aggressive. The Italic was redrawn at a less severe angle with far more
movement and, as a result, is far more congenial when paired with the Uprights.
Condensed and Compressed. Yep, why not? I know I would use them.
There are nine weights currently available. The logical progression of weights and the intended flexibility demanded I explore a number of light weights and their potential uses — this has produced a number of ‘light without being too light’ options that really work based on the size. The result is a robust 81-font superfamily that is functional, professional, and highly legible without compromising its personality. Pair that with over 900 characters per font that includes ligatures, discretionary ligatures, stylistic alternates, fractions, proportional/tabular lining and proportional/tabular oldstyle figures, numerators, denominators, ordinals, superiors, inferiors, small caps, case-sensitive functionality and extensive language support and you have a versatile superfamily well-suited for any project
