Periwinkle Jason Walcott

Playful and upbeat, Periwinkle sparkles with ‘70s flair and bell-bottom strokes. Based on an old photo-typositing face called Loose New Roman, Periwinkle has been digitally redrawn and expanded. The Fancy weight sports extra curls and swashes, offering a wide range of typographic flavor akin to hand lettering.

Inspired by Argentina and its culture, Candy Script captures the country’s spirit. It comes from the great tradition of window sign painting, but its thick hand-brushed strokes – including swashes that go every which way – have an energy and personality all their own.

Pea Corey Holms

Pea is a study in contrasts. It takes the geometric sans serif – an ubiquitous, almost banal, letter shape – and gleefully renders it using elaborate calligraphic swashes.

Encrypted Wallpaper René Verkaart

Encrypted Wallpaper is meant to function as legible “wallpaper” when set large and seen from a distance. Gradually, the type resolves itself: the forms appear as characters, the characters as words, and the words as text.

Tourette Jonathan Barnbrook & Marcus McCallion

This light monoline serif erupts with ornate curlicues at the slightest provocation.

2 faces Virus $89

Perla Gareth Hague

An uppercase version of Didot, designed by Firmin Didot in 1783, Perla has a postmodern feel, a nod to history but with a quirky freshness. Includes a set of decorative alternate characters mixing semi-Cyrillic and lowercase influences.

DF Heretic Rian Hughes

DF Heretic cloaks itself in an atmosphere of evil, carnival freak show, and no-nonsense thuggery. Mix the black and condensed weights of this octagonal blackletter together to rough things up even more.

DF Quartertone Rian Hughes

A modular matrix of a font, DF Quartertone takes inspiration from printers’ halftone screens. Use at large sizes in headlines or for short bursts of smaller text.

Plastek Neil Summerour

If Plastek brings back memories, you must have made scale models as a child – it’s inspired by those little things (officially, sprues) that attach airplane wings and car doors to the plastic sheets.

4 faces Umbrella $79


26

Mince Corey Holms

Mince amuses itself by inflating its forms to the limits of comprehension. Each character is abstracted to the furthest point of legibility. The pattern emerges when the letters are read in context – the viewer’s brain grasps the order and establishes meaning.

Named for the mosaic tiles, DF Terrazzo makes for a spectacular typographic flooring system. Lay it down on posters for a decorative effect.

DF Dazzle Rian Hughes

DF Dazzle riffs on the ‘70s trend for op art–inspired faces called prismas, constructed of parallel lines. Overlap in different colors or black and white for eye-teasing moiré combinations. Set the Underprint version in a different color, then layer it beneath the regular version for dazzling combinations.

Occulista Brian Jaramillo

Beginning as a modern take on a vintage tri-line style of typeface, Occulista evolved into something a bit different – an exploration of concentric lines of varying weights. Includes nine weights, with alternate uppercase letters in place of lowercase.

Ministry Script Alejandro Paul

Designed to encapsulate both 1920s American ad art and the acrobatics of digital type, Ministry Script opens a new frontier in digital calligraphy. With as many variants of each letter as possible, this single face has more than 1,000 characters. OpenType features include contextual and stylistic alternates, swash characters, and a lavish amount of ligatures.

Almond Script Angel Koziupa & Alejandro Paul

Slim and delicate, rough and weathered, Almond Script combines Latin poise with the sweep of an ancient brush. This calligraphic face may be textured with history, but it maintains curvy, upbeat terminals. Its tall ascenders and long descenders are wind-bent just the right way.

Shoebop Stephen Rapp

Displaying vibrant rhythm, Shoebop is a versatile brush-lettered font with a delightful retro flair. The letters bounce playfully, while a subtle thickening toward the base of individual strokes adds a sense of stability. Includes enough contextual substitutes and ligatures to fill your typographic dance card.

1 face (OpenType alternates, ligatures) Umbrella $49 A Veer Exclusive

Sinfonieta Angel Koziupa & Alejandro Paul

Class, comfort, art, and elegance – Sinfonieta conveys them all. Its graceful brush strokes are packaged in a clear, disciplined, yet artistic alphabet. Including many alternate letterforms, Sinfonieta is perfectly attired for logotypes and wordmarks.

Feast on this typographic cornucopia. Modeled after an elaborate page of calligraphy by renowned signpainter Alf Becker, Buffet Script has enough menu options to satisfy the fussiest appetite – a veritable bounty of ligatures, swashes, and alternates. Best used where lush elegance is a design requirement.

52

Expletive Script Jonathan Barnbrook & Marcus McCallion

A modular font based on a circular form, Expletive Script is about the possibility for the violence of language. Sure, some characters in the alternate faces stray below the baseline, but with the way every letter – and every word – is connected, this font conveys a certain harmony.

4 faces Virus $139


54

Trentor Script Göran Söderström

A centuries-old artist’s rendering of Stockholm’s Old Town inspired the Trentor family. Combining geometric construction with a script sensibility, Trentor Script suggests both movement and sturdy solidity.

56

Miss Blaker Alejandro Paul

Actively left-leaning – but only in posture – this face delivers a well-placed backhand. Part of the Charles Bluemlein Script Collection, Miss Blaker is a reminder of the heady days of hand lettering and calligraphy. Now reinterpreted in an expanded digital version.



58

Olicana Rough Nick Cooke

Originally drawn with pen and ink to get the thick/thin contrast, Olicana Rough has a wonderfully inky texture. Top it off with the ink blobs, scribbles, and overlapping ligatures included with this face, and you’ve got an informal script with its own flair.

An upright face combining handwritten and calligraphic qualities. Inspired by hand-lettered titling from the ‘60s, Peregroy has a warm, informal feel.

Milonguita Valeria Duarte & Alejandro Paul

Inspired by a passionate Argentinean dance, Milonguita turns heads with its expansive energy. Its irregular longhand strokes embody the emotion and spontaneity of this dance. The result is a typographic combination of elegance, energy, and rhythm.

Changeling Mark Simonson

Changeling is a redesign and expansion of a Visual Graphics Corporation typeface from the mid-1970s. Lowercase-style variants have been added to nearly all the uppercase forms, offering endless “unicase” combinations. Includes full character sets, alternate characters, and extensive kerning tables for tight-but-not-touching spacing.



74

Trapper Round James Grieshaber

Trapper Round renders what was once strictly functional as purely aesthetic. The ink traps of lead type are built right into this face for an exaggerated effect. Kind of like balloons twisted into letter shapes. Part of a versatile family of eight fonts with sharp and round variations.

4 faces Typeco $59


76

Geetype Nick Cooke

Lettering by the great A. M. Cassandre on a piece of cigarette pack was the unusual origin of Geetype. The rest of the characters followed as an experiment. Geetype evokes the 1920s and ‘30s in an eye-catching display face.

1 face G-Type $60


78

Borgstrand Stencil Martin Fredrikson

Martin Fredrikson was motivated to make a stencil version of his popular Borgstrand after a friend had been playing with the typeface for a magazine project. The regular face is a rounded-corner soft stencil similar to the original. The cutout face is designed to be cut out and used for actual stenciling.

Fuel Uni Brian J. Bonislawsky & Brian Jaramillo

Fuel Uni updates the techno sans, complete with decorative traps and a comprehensive family of variants for an array of display uses. The complete Fuel family features 22 fonts, including retro-looking script, unicase, extended, and outlined variants.



82

Doublethink Vinko Ozic-Pajic

Doublethink can trace its birth to 1960s Yugoslavia, as a shopfront logo. It made the leap to the digital front with the help of a piece of rope shaped into each letterform. With an Orwellian nod, it folds in on itself, keeping things fluid.

Cypher James Grieshaber

Cypher invokes the Gestalt Principle of Closure, that the brain can derive meaning even when some of the information is missing. Inspired by a challenge to make a legible upper and lower case alphabet with the smallest grid possible, it has the best legibility used small. A versatile family of 24 faces – 4 widths, each with 3 weights and accompanying italics.

Glyphic Neue

Don’t throw out that lava lamp just yet. Op-art lettering, popular in the 1960s and ‘70s, breaks on through to the millennial flipside as Glyphic Neue. Mix and match cases for a look that is pure, trippy kitsch.

Metsys David James & Gareth Hague

A soft-tech take on the monoline aesthetic, Metsys was derived from a logotype designed for electronic band System 7. Its letterforms are purified, rounded, almost abstract graphic shapes.

DF Miserichordia Rian Hughes

Meaning “act of mercy,” DF Miserichordia is named after a projection under a folding seat in a church, meant to support worshippers when standing. Here, this “shelf” finds a place in the connections between some strokes, and the good posture of the heavy vertical strokes is aided by supportive ball terminals.

Lil’ Milton Brian Sooy

Ice Standard 7 Tyler Young 2 faces Mean Tangerine $20 A Veer Exclusive

Tyler Young didn’t study typography – he was schooled via trial by fire. In creating an online magazine, Tyler found he needed fonts that held up at small sizes. That gave rise to his Mean Tangerine type foundry – named after his long-standing misunderstanding of the first line of the Beatles song “Savoy Truffle,” which begins “cream tangerine.” See all his fonts at veer.com/tyleryoung.

DF Battery Park Rian Hughes

Inspired by a fleeting glimpse of a Bronx plumber’s van seen through the rain-spattered window of a New York taxi. A stencil font that’s a little rough around the edges, DF Battery Park evokes urban grit, knock-down warehouse bargains, and military supplies labeling.

1 face Device $39

DF Appointment With Danger Rian Hughes

DF Appointment With Danger looks like it has suffered the ravages of poor printing technology on the cheapest, roughest paper imaginable. Angular and condensed, this display face is nice and inky. Available alone or as part of the Pulp Action Pack.



112

DF Agent of the Uncanny Rian Hughes

With its tattered edges, DF Agent of the Uncanny is suitable for evoking horror film titles, B-movie posters, vintage sleaze paperbacks, and retro science fiction novellas. Available alone or as part of the Pulp Action Pack.



114

DF Las Perdidas Rian Hughes

DF Las Perdidas found its genesis in a sign stenciled on a window of a bus in Lima. Every letter looked like it was from a different font, mixed with abandon. Fueled by its own set of seemingly mismatched characters, DF Las Perdidas lumbers out of the station, ready to stop wherever a naive vernacular approach is called for.

DF Chase Rian Hughes

A carefully crafted display face, DF Chase captures the idiosyncrasies of under- or over-printed wood types without the inky fingers. Based on early and mid 19th-century Clarendons, this tough, well-proportioned slab serif has been battered with care.

1 face Device $39


120

FTN Farao Peter Bruhn

FTN Farao has three sources of inspiration: an Egyptian stamp, a learn-to-draw-letters book, and printed ephemera from the 1800s to early 1900s. Reinterpreting these raw materials with a touching warmth, FTN Farao has a spirit that’s hard to achieve with grid-based fonts. Features seven faces, including buttons and ornaments.



122

DF Roadkill Rian Hughes

The DF Roadkill family is a literal interpretation of rough road lettering. Most letters have alternate versions, and the font works well at wider letterspacing settings. Worn by a million car tires, DF Roadkill is ready for whatever wear and tear you can dish out.

4 faces Device $119

Malambo Angel Koziupa & Alejandro Paul

Malambo vibrates with a rough, passionate energy. No wonder: it’s named after a traditional Argentinean dance performed by gauchos. Even with a mild case of the jitters, this brush face really moves to the beat, full of cheek and mischief.

Metallophile SP 8 Mark Simonson

A faithful facsimile of a sans-serif face set on a 1940s-vintage hot metal typesetting machine and printed on coated stock. Designed to look great at 8 points, where line weights start to disintegrate, Metallophile feels positively photocopyish.



130

DF Lagos Rian Hughes

Named for a Portuguese coastal town that can trace its roots back more than 2,000 years, DF Lagos looks like it could be that old itself. It’s as if the serifs wore off long long ago. This distressed all-caps stencil font is slightly condensed, perfect for fitting onto crates of figs and cases of wine.



132

DF Conselheiro Rian Hughes

DF Conselheiro may be derived from stone-carving type used for street names in southern Portugal, but it looks more like an art school experiment with wood type. Overlap it in two colors for a textural effect.

Halvorsen Wayne Thompson

6 faces (OpenType) Umbrella $270

Halvorsen is an act of admiration. Its jaunty letterforms are a tribute to the clinical efficiency of the German and Dutch sans faces, as well as a nod to the clean lines and effortless elegance of the Halvorsen line of Australian ships. This text family is open, versatile, and structurally intriguing.

Ketchupa Peter Bruhn


As the name suggests, Ketchupa was inspired by a ketchup package. The ink had spread, making the small lettering very round. Using Corpus Gothic as a template, Ketchupa mimics this effect.


152

Eason Randy Jones


A hard-working choice for the most demanding projects. Based on Nicolas Jenson’s 1470 roman, Eason has been remixed so the postmodern result is far from Venetian Renaissance types. Includes two versions of titling capitals, monospaced ornaments, oldstyle figures, and tabular lining figures across all weights, as well as small caps.


154

Canterbury Old Style Ray Vatter


Originally designed by Morris Benton for American Type Founders, Canterbury Old Style captures the spirit of the 1920s. With a low x-height, long descenders, and delicate serifs, it’s an excellent alternative to Bernhard Modern. Comes with regular and bold, with swash variants.


156

Mostra Mark Simonson


Inspired by Italian Art Deco advertising of the 1930s, Mostra brings a taste of classic Italia to your desktop. Includes 15 faces over 5 weights. Mix and match them to evoke a particular mood or style. Features a full character set (caps only) and kerning tables for display setting.

160

Fakir Underware

A contemporary interpretation of blackletter. Based on a broad-nib textura construction, Fakir has plenty of edgy, interrupted strokes tossed in the mix. Named for a religious mendicant who performs feats of physical endurance, Fakir is a blackletter for modern times.

Vitus Sylvia & Daniel Janssen


Vitus – the name implies vigor and vitality. At first glance, this typeface embodies those qualities, with big bold lines that make big bold statements. But the occasional delicate stroke or skewed bowl suggests more sass than seriousness at the heart of this uppercase delight. Extras include ligatures, ornaments, and graphic elements of early 20th-century advertising.


164

Goldenbook Mark Simonson


Goldenbook is based on the logotype of The Golden Book Magazine, a literary magazine from the late 1920s and ‘30s. Meant to be used large, it includes fonts with both oldstyle and lining numerals in each weight.

Precious Sans Nick Cooke

16 faces G-Type $390

Simple and elegant, Precious Sans steps lightly, in weights ranging from thin to ultra black. Open counters and a generous x-height allow for maximum clarity when set small.
