New release: Maxisud!
Maxisud is a narrow, geometrical sans serif that acts as a reinterpretation of the Futura Maxi typeface found in Photo-Lettering’s One Line Manual of Styles. It comes in two styles: a Normal one, and another version bearing inktraps, using these technical features as the visual treats they are. Why put inktraps on a phototype-inspired face, you would ask? These do look good in display, while providing texture and readability in smaller point sizes. Maxisud has a higher x-height than Futura, and shares similarities with Avant-Garde Gothic Condensed and the classic poster cut Futura Condensed ExtraBold.

💎 NEW RELEASE 💎
Sancy is a typeface collection by Emmanuel Besse @embes@typo.social in 2 versions, a Sans and a Slab. Each variant comes in 14 styles, 7 weights with matching italics. Sancy Sans is a narrow grotesque with a certain roundness. Sancy Slab, also with semi-condensed proportions, feels elegant in thinner weights, steady and convivial in darker styles. Both feature low contrast, as in stretched type from store signs.
