Designing (or thinking of designing) a variable font? Think variable fonts are just weight and width in one file? In our new article (link in bio) we cover tips and tricks, rules to follow and to ignore, and tons of great variable font examples. Variable fonts can easily get very technical, so we made sure to cover all the key terms, too. Let us know what you think! And please share your favorite variable font in the comments!

NEW RELEASE 🇬🇪 CoFo Sans Pro Georgian. Designed by @wickedletters CoFo Sans Georgian is built on the clean and rational foundations of the CoFo Sans family. Based on the same balance of structured simplicity and expressive detail, it preserves the character of the original typeface—offering clarity, functionality and subtle personality without forcing neutrality. Developed with multiscript use in mind, CoFo Sans Georgian is carefully tuned to work alongside other scripts. Slightly extended ascenders and descenders, combined with a shorter x-height compared to the Latin, help maintain a consistent rhythm and texture, while fully respecting the structure and legibility of Georgian letterforms. Open shapes, a touch of squareness and gentle playfulness give the script a contemporary, confident tone. A wide range of styles and economical vertical metrics make CoFo Sans Georgian a strong choice for complex typographic environments. Designed for digital use, it performs reliably across screens—from interfaces and apps to longer reading contexts—where achieving both clarity and efficient vertical spacing is often a challenge in Georgian typography. As part of the growing CoFo Sans system, the Georgian extension contributes to a cohesive, modern family built for clear and adaptable communication across scripts. 
Styles: Hairline, Hairline Italic, Thin, Thin Italic, Light, Light Italic, Regular, Regular Italic, Medium, Medium Italic, Bold, Bold Italic, Black, Black Italic Designers: Latin & Cyrillic: Maria Doreuli @doreuli Georgian: Ana Sanikidze @wickedletters #cofo #contrastfoundry #cofo_sans #font #sans

New work! Muse Display, made with @thisiscollins for @wearemusegroup . Link to case study in bio. The typeface concept was created at COLLINS by the brilliant @indgila , who worked on the identity together with @rebekaarce . We at Contrast Foundry had the honor of refining the direction and drawing what became Muse Display. Muse Group is behind some of the world’s most beloved music tools—Ultimate Guitar, MuseScore, Audacity, Muse Hub—now united by a voice as fluent as the creativity it enables. CREDITS CONTRAST FOUNDRY

Pura elegancia siempre. We made it onto the cover of Gràffica’s @grafficainfo special typography issue. In our interview, we break down what Contrast Foundry is built on: taking type engineering seriously without losing the fun. Seeing our name next to other incredible foundries is so special. We dig into the reality of independent type design, the challenge of creating high-quality multi-script families, and the story behind some of our core typefaces. The yellow cover is impossible to miss. Get yours at @grafficainfo Honored to share these pages with: @sharp_type @typotheque @dstype_foundry @bymonotype @fontbaseapp @marsidesino @arquitectadelibros @jmribagorda @elinaperezurbaneja @ashlerdesign

Excited to share the new Lecture Series posters I designed for @parsons_cd this Spring 2026! The posters were Riso printed, distributed around @parsonsschoolofdesign campus, and shared on the Parsons website! More to come, but let me know what you think! 😊 “The visual direction centers on overlapping letters and colors to represent shared experiences and intersections between students, educators, disciplines, and ideas. The goal was to showcase the energy of the Parsons community and vibrancy of voices the series brings together.” 🌈 Speakers: Giorgia Lupi Shanzhai Lyric (Ming Lin & Alex Tatarsky) Renald Louissaint Michael Houtz Shout out to @elopez12 for help Riso printing these, Riley Kim for additional event photography, and @contrastfoundry for the body copy typeface! 🙌 #parsonsschoolofdesign #thenewschool #typography #lettering #color

Meet CoFo Robert Sans 🐑 What happens when you take a sturdy, 19th-century slab serif and shave off its heavy winter coat? You find a clean, incredibly friendly grotesque hiding underneath. Designed by Liza Rasskazova ( @elizarasskazova ), our new typeface takes the loyal, warm DNA of the original CoFo Robert Slab and strips away the serifs. The result is a highly reliable sans-serif that won’t bite, won’t chew up your layouts, and is always happy to do the hard work for you. A true-blue workhorse that stays warm without the extra fluff. Ready to adopt? Available now for commercial licensing and free trial on our website. Type Design: @elizarasskazova Animation & Graphics: @pebaydin
