Elizabeth Goodspeed on why design studios are making fonts

Custom type has become branding’s newest obsession, promising control, originality, and ownership – but its rapid rise is reshaping the culture and economy of type design itself.

Karel Martens Unbound at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam

One of the most intelligent and beautiful design/art exhibitions I've ever seen.

Until 26 October: inderdaad, onmisbaar!

View of the Martens exhibition at the Stedelijk, Amsterdam. Items are held in the steel-framed shelving system that KM uses in his own studio. The printed exhibition guide explains everything, compartment by compartment.

KAREL MARTENS — UNBOUND 💥

A powerful reminder of the beauty that comes from decades of making and remaking. Martens’ work flows across time, media, and intention—always with a sense of play and precision. It’s not about reaching a final form, but staying in motion.
Unmissable!

Hace muchos años sorprendí a un tipo que estaba cortando la cadena de mi bici con un trozo de hoja sierra, cuando le llamé la atención me dijo lo siguiente "un segundito, que ya casi lo tengo...".

Con lo de Gaza está pasando lo mismo.

Bluesky is a good alternative to X for the general public and some specific topics, especially politics. But for many communities and fields, a critical mass remains exclusively on Mastodon. Type designers and fans, for instance, have their own server with 679 active users: typo.social/directory.

typo.social

Welcome to Typo.social! This is a Mastodon instance open to any typo and type enthusiastic. We are offering this service out of sheer courtesy without being held responsible for any disadvantages.

Placa is my display typeface, born from the question: What typeface could represent Barcelona? Inspired by street signs, it now has 5 styles + a Variable Font. I'm adding an expressive lowercase & Latin Plus.

Brise is a stencil type family inspired by the interplay between air and structure. Like a breeze drifting through space, its forms are shaped by both presence and absence. The family goes from Text Light to Display Extreme. Available also as a Variable Font (on demand).

Questrial, designed by Joe Prince and Laura Meseguer
Many African languages lack proper typographic support. To address the lack of open source fonts for African languages, Google Fonts gave me the task of expanding Questrial typeface for that purpose.

Fontstand is becoming a co-op! At the Fontstand Conference in The Hague, we announced that we’re becoming a cooperatively owned and managed font distributor — with expanded licensing and services. Stay tuned as we create a more equitable, transparent and democratic model for font designers.

Almost a year ago, at Type-Ø-Tones we teamed up with Luis Mendo to craft a typeface family from his handwriting. Clear, readable, and natural, Mendo Sans includes Mendo Titles Light, Mendo Titles Bold, Mendo Sans Uppercase, and Mendo Sans Lowercase. Follow Luis at @luismendo.com

An update for LTR Very Bauble! The OG characterset was a bit sparse, so I added about 2500 more! All animated with lines, thorns and pips. One axis, five masters. These were already having a party and now they are having a ball. #ad #update #tuscan #variablefont ‪letterror.com/verybauble/index…‬

The Toormix studio designed the identity of Restaurant Volta. Inspired by the Porxos d’en Xifré vaults. The visual identity features my PLACA typeface, inspired by Barcelona’s street name plaques.
