Wozniak is a workhorse sanserif typeface in 16 styles that includes a 16 styles display font on itself.

On its default shapes brings a modern, clear and bright personality to the text and a wide range of possibilities by supporting many OpenType features, such as oldstyle, lining & tabular numbers, small caps, inferiors & superiors, discretionary ligatures, numerators & denominators, extended fractions, case sensitivity forms and more, all carefully crafted and balanced for excellent legibility and optimum performance both on screen and on paper.

But thats not all, every style also includes two complete uppercase sets of display alternates and more than 180 stylistic ligatures inspired by the digital revolution and the early 80s aesthetics.

All this blend into a flexible and multifunctional set of over 1600 glyphs, support for more than 200 latin script languages and the potentiality of use in long text settings, headlines or branding travelling from modern to vintage with absolute ease and naturality.

Wozniak was named after Steve Wozniak as a tribute to the pioneers of the digital revolution.

Criteria CF is a geometric sans built with simple, efficient construction. Straight lines and clean circles combine with a tight vertical design that allows for cleanly-stacked lowercase text, striking headlines, and bold wordmarks.

Hints of Swiss style and unconventional ideas add a fresh dimension to a strong geometric design.

Uniquely, Criteria CF was designed on a vintage PowerBook G4 Macintosh – and then polished up on a modern machine – to illustrate the usefulness and repairability of older computers, and the value of keeping them out of landfills, allowing them to serve a new purpose.

I have been making some clean, connected fonts lately and when I was working on another one of these, I felt the need for something chaotic.

So, Scapegoat was born. I used a round nibbed steel pen and Chinese ink and the result is quite a messy font.

It may look chaotic, but as Nietzsche once said: ‘from chaos comes order’.

Amen to that! Comes with double letter ligatures for the lower case and a whole lot of diacritics.

Shandon Slab adds a new colour to the prominent family of serif-dominant typefaces. A distinctive look with its slightly flowing characteristics sets it apart from most members of the category.

The contrasting italic styles add a vivid accent. Shandon Slab is predestined for editorials, headlines, and eye-catching text applications. The Shandon Slab family consists of 18 styles. It comes in OpenType format with extended language support for more than 40 languages. All weights contain standard and discretionary ligatures, proportional lining figures, tabular lining figures, proportional old style figures, lining old style figures, matching currency symbols, fraction- and scientific numerals, matching arrows and alternative characters.

Phiz is a diverse suite of 27 decorative fonts all based on Shinntype’s Figgins Sans Extra Bold.

There are four sub-families: Classic (9 fonts), Rounded (7 fonts), Rough (4 fonts) and Particles (7 fonts).

While the Classic styles hark back to the 19th century and the Rounded and Rough styles are thoroughly modern, the Particles styles emanate from the future.

These irregular type designs occupy a unique niche—neither casual and hand-drawn, nor imitating distressed printing (e.

g. the “rusty” look). They were conceived and executed as complex algorithmically-generated graphic procedures, in which repetitive elements were artfully applied to the Sans capitals and manually nuanced.

As such they also differ substantially from textured glyph shapes that have been cut out from larger pattern fields, for the constituent particles are disposed in relation to the specific shape of each character they define.

The caps-with-small-caps format was chosen for two reasons. Firstly, titling display usage is predominantly capitals, and secondly, rather like optical scaling, having the same resolution of texture available in two different “sizes” (upper and lower case) should prove useful in the hierarchy of page layout—not primarily for setting upper and lower case text as caps-with-small-capitals, although this is of course an option.

Figures and major symbols (punctuation and currency) are provided in both cap and small cap height.

All Phiz fonts have the same metrics and kerning, facilitating layering.
