Curated from some of my favorite type foundries, I am sharing a round up of my favorite fonts this month.
Multicultural font but it's really giving me those Italian fun, laid back summer vibes. I think I really just miss Italy.
Tarif is a slab serif typeface with a humanist skeleton and inverted contrast, subtly mixing latin zeist, calligraphic details, extreme ink-traps, and postmodern unorthodox reinvention of traditional grotesque letter shapes.The design of Tarif, perfect for titling, logo and display use, is complemented by a wide range of seven weights allowing for solid editorial use and great readability in body text.
Playful, classy, and inspired by the historical architecture in Charleston (where I currently live).
Archdale is a playful display typeface inspired by the Gothic Revival style flying buttresses on Archdale Street in Charleston. Its emotive and lively characters make a big impression on the page. We recommend using it selectively and at larger sizes.
Old but new. Feels friendly and familiar. A twist on a classic serif font. Make it romantic or pair it with a cool vintage car photo.
Like a half-remembered dream—entirely familiar, sort of comforting, but which can’t be pinpointed to a particular time or place — New Spirit is both nostalgic and entirely enigmatic. It’s an Arcadian typeface, by which I mean that it is from an artistic vision of stability, abundance and harmony with nature. This sense of the organic, homemade and untainted by industry brings an undeniable romance, tempered by its traditional aspects in nods to more conservative Oldstyle serif typefaces.
This immediately gave me White Lotus vibes (if you know, you know). Lavish. Decorative. Attention grabbing. The perfect display face font for a logo or short catchy headlines in a really large formats.
Gardez is an eye-catching display typeface, designed for use at large sizes and in short passages of text. Its highly-expressive features make it an ideal choice for packaging, logotypes, posters, magazine titling, and book covers.Gardez was born from the merging of the typical forms and features of traditional garalde italics with those of an inverted contrast design – two styles that are traditionally very far apart. In contemporary design, visual taboos are falling and there is an insatiable appetite for unorthodox and challenging designs; we saw an opportunity to be brave and irreverent by combining two extremes into something very new and very different.
