While the Aspire family finds its roots of inspiration in the ACURA automotive company logo, with its wider base, the Aspire Narrow family condenses those styles into something more suitable for larger bodies of text in a more standardized width.

Aspire pays homage the techno display styling of the inspiration logotype, further evolving beyond its brand inspired origin to give birth to a font family that pulls on modern and historical styles.

It adopts a sturdy yet approachable style with its uniform stroke forms and curves, and goes on to include a lowercase, numerals, and a comprehensive range of weights, creating a straightforward, uncompromising collection of typefaces that lend a solid foundation and a broad range of expression for designers.

Here’s what’s included with the Aspire Narrow Family bundle: 477 glyphs per style - including Capitals, Lowercase, Numerals, Punctuation and an extensive character set that covers multilingual support of latin based languages.

(see the 6th graphic for a preview of the characters included) Stylistic Alternates - alternate characters that remove the angled stencil cuts for a more standardized text look.

3 weights in the family: Light, Regular, & Black. 3 obliques in the family, one for each weight: Light, Regular, & Black. Fonts are available in TTF & OTF formats. The TTF format is the standard go to for most users, although the OTF and TTF function exactly the same.

Here’s why the Aspire Narrow Family is for you: - You’re in need of a narrow automotive sans font family with a range of weights and obliques.

- You’re love that ACURA letter styling, and want to design with a narrow font within that genre.

- You’re looking for an alternative to Eurostile with more stylized letterforms.

- You’re looking for a clean techno typeface for your starship console labelling.

- You just like to collect quality fonts to add to your design arsenal.

Berryfield started as an experiment: making a font entirely out of geometric shapes. It started with a couple of circles and a couple of rectangles, and was constructed entirely from those parts, and parts made from those parts! For the uppercase, I took style inspiration from the heavy serif classics like Cooper, Korinna, and Goudy.

But when it came time to create the lowercase set, I took a sharp turn and looked to fun unicase fonts like Pupcat and Pharmacy, creating uppercase-height lowercase letters, in addition to uppercase alternates.

When I finished Berryfield Regular, I liked it so much I made a lighter version (almost like a typewriter font), and a heavier version, to give you even more variety! Each font in the family contains over 520 characters, including over 300 extended Latin characters for language support.

There are also a number of alternate letters to choose from, as well as superscript ordinals (ST, ND, RD, and TH), all of which are PUA-encoded for easy access no matter what design program you’re using.

Berryfield was a ton of fun to make, and I hope you have a ton of fun using it! It’s smooth and easy for both print and crafting; the uppercase alone is straightforward enough for a magazine headline, but combining in the lowercase makes it quirky and fun.

Varmint is an offbeat flair serif font inspired by the titling of the early 1970’s “Yosemite Sam & Bugs Bunny” comics from Gold Key.

Playing up a Capitals and Alt-Capitals character set, with just a few ligatures, this wonderful typeface is funky and fun to type with.

The Revla family just keeps expanding! This is Revla Slab. It has the same exuberant charm as its sibling (Revla Sans and Revla Serif) with a touch more chunk.

OpenType contextual alternates make for text that is lively and bouncy, without the monotony of obviously repeating letterforms.

It’s shamelessly fun, but pretty serious at the same time. The range of weights can be used to maintain an even colour across different sizes - use lighter weights for bigger sizes and vice versa.

OpenType features include automatic fractions, ordinals, contextual alternates (which along with the pseudo-randomness, help maintain a nice tight fit with minimal glyph collisions), standard and discretionary ligatures (OK, only one discretionary ligature, but it’s a belter!), and case-sensitve forms.

Obviously, in sharing a common skeleton, it will work well with other members of the Revla Superfamily, particularly Revla Sans.

Say hello to State, this family is inspired by sports. State Wide has been designed with a little extra width as well as some stylistic alternates to give your artwork some interesting variation.

This family comes in 3 styles; Regular, Soft and a Rough version each with 7 weights and italics.

Choose state for print, online or television, it is versatile in weight and style to give your artwork the perfect delivery you need it to have.
