Dripping Spooky Font

There’s an appealing quirkiness about Amrys, which offers a confidently unusual alternative to more conventional designs. Its charm lies in its tapering tips, flexing stems, and unexpected notches, which combine to suggest something of the chiseller’s tool at work.

As a modulated serif, its letter shapes live between serif and sans serif, lending the design a sense of pleasing irregularity – something that’s really highlighted at larger sizes. However this is also a typeface that works for text, injecting rhythm and texture into reading.

“It’s distinctive, idiosyncratic, and weird,” says its designer, Ben Jones. He started designing Amrys while studying an MA at Reading University, creating it in response to a brief for a magazine typeface.

Amrys features an extensive and impressive character set. In addition to Latin, Amrys covers several scripts including Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic and Armenian. The family consists of 8 weights, from Light to Black, with matching italics.

Two times awarded on Bienal Tipos Latinos 2012 and 2014, Radal is one of the most expected releases for all those who know well the latin american type scene. Inspired by the capricious and temperamental southern Chile geography and the beauty of its landscapes Sergio Leiva develops an expressionist typeface with a very humanist feeling, taking its Czechs and Venetian references a step further by creating an unpredictable mix of forms and proportions which later craft almost to domestication in order to fulfil its purpose of developing an expressionist non disruptive text typeface.

Radal looks extremely well balanced in long text settings at the time that embellish the page with a scent of calm wilderness. On display use, shines on its irregular nature plenty of unexpected forms and counter forms. The Radal family is composed by 7 styles plus matching italics and a set of over 1400 glyphs (1600 on italics) full of ligatures, alternates, swashes, ornaments, small caps, symbols and a complete arsenal of typographic resources for your delight.

Blue Jeans, is a new unconnected brush script font designed with Pentel brush sign.

Genia is a script typeface that carries roundhand calligraphy DNA. Instead of using pointed nib pen, Genia was created using a fine brush resulting in clean and wavy character. With the OpenType features, Genia creates the natural feel of calligraphy writing. This contextual feature makes the font ‘smart’. It knows which letters are the initial and which one is the finial. The feature can be activated in the OpenType section under the names of CALT or Contextual Alternates. Genia also gives you old style and proportional number options.

Our advice is always turn the contextual alternates, and don't use the OPTICAL kerning on Adobe softwares. The preview on this site does not support the contextual alternates.

House Sans is a 100 style super-family made up of 5 widths, 10 weights plus matching italics in two design approaches through stylistic alternates to the E, F, L and e characters. The weights range from compressed to expanded, from thin to heavy creating a plethora of styles to create with.

House Sans has a unique visual structure to key glyphs such as the A, M & Y that give the font a stand out feel while the contrasting horizontal bars provide a nice balance. The compressed weights are great for fitting in tight spaces whilst the Heavy styles are perfect for standing out from the crowd.

The font features extensive support for European and Cyrillic languages, stylistic and discretionary ligatures, plus superiors, inferiors and fractions.
