This Week in Fonts
Calligraphic flair by DSType, a geometric stencil from Talbot Type, a tempered sans by MVB Fonts, a warm slab courtesy of Dada Studio, a fluid script from Sudtipos, some hand-drawn lettering by Mike Rohde, an art deco inspired face from Tilo Pentzin, a vintage sans by Hold Fast Foundry, geometric forms from HVD Fonts, and a tribute to Ladislav Sutnar by Suitcase Type Foundry.
DSType: Aparo
Designed by Dino dos Santos
Aparo appears to be a very simple bold italic roman typeface, but it has plenty of calligraphic flair, including swashes, collision detectors, alternate characters and a very extended character set.
Talbot Type: Kroppen Round
Designed by Adrian Talbot
Not strictly a stencil font given that several characters are not stencilled. The design has more to do with achieving each character from a single stroke, or series of single strokes.
MVB Fonts: MVB Solitaire
Designed by Mark van Bronkhorst
A tempered sans-serif somewhere between a humanist and a gothic, MVB Solitaire captures a 21st-century neutrality.
Dada Studio: Clavo
Designed by Michał Jarociński
Its warmth comes from subtle details, classical proportions and traditional forms, while its harmonious structure prevents distraction while reading.
Sudtipos: Rolling Pen
Designed by Alejandro Paul
Rolling Pen runneth over with alternates, swashes, ligatures, and other techy perks.
Delve Fonts: Sketchnote
Designed by Mike Rohde
Designed to be practical, to convey the human character and quirks of Mike Rohde’s normal handwriting and unique hand-drawn lettering with the benefits inherent in digital fonts.
Gestalten: High Times
Designed by Tilo Pentzin
High Times takes its inspiration from the eras of Art Deco and Art Nouveau but with a radically contemporary approach.
Hold Fast Foundry: Prohibition
Designed by Mattox Shuler
This vintage sans takes queues from classic war and workforce posters.
HVD Fonts: Niveau Grotesk
Designed by Hannes von Döhren
Based on geometric forms and influenced by classical 19th-century faces.
Suitcase Type Foundry: Ladislav
Designed by Tomáš Brousil
A tribute to the typography of Ladislav Sutnar.
