The next evolution of TikTok Sans. Together with @typenetwork and @tiktok , we helped take the type system further, introducing a width axis and refining the Greek and Cyrillic scripts.
From a custom three-axis typeface to an even more flexible variable design system, TikTok Sans can now adapt across interfaces, campaigns, and countless digital contexts—and the typeface is now open source.
Originally designed by Grilli Type.
Further development by Contrast Foundry in collaboration with Type Network and TikTok.

CoFo Chimera Regular. An attempt to make shapes born as a sketch work in text. A page from (probably) the only book I’ve seen set in this style of Chimera — Women Looking at Women Looking at Women by @annemariewadlow
STUDENT WORK — Linner by @brigittelalala . A glimpse of what our Type West 2025 In-Person students were up to. I couldn’t resist testing it on the scanner 😅 Thank you for giving me a copy — printed and handbound specimens = ❤️

A portmanteau, Linner can refer to a meal eaten between lunch and dinner. It is a term I am quite fond of, having eaten many linners after school at my family’s Vietnamese restaurant while doing homework or sneakily playing gameboy behind a book at table 17, where my mom could keep an eye on us while manning the register. It’s quite apt that now, a couple decades later, I find myself sustained by many more linners throughout a year of night classes at Type West.
Linner can also refer to a chonky, hopefully tasty (and tasteful) display typeface resulting from some unplanned design constraints: the Sharpie Magnum Marker and a vertical mouse were the only tools I could hold comfortably during the 8 weeks my drawing hand recovered from a freak accident at the gym.
This book is a peek behind the curtain of Linner’s creation and is the culmination of the original typeface assignment during the latter two terms of TypeWest, a year-long program on the study of type design at the Letterform Archive in San Francisco, California.
