Vanity is an octic unicase typeface that captures the printed effect of letterforms on New Jersey license plates from the 1930s to the 1990s. The two-width family draws inspiration from the visual remnants of how embossed and painted plates were produced. Engineer-constructed letterforms and rounded corners form the foundation of the typeface. By embracing material ‘flaws’ in individual characters — such as paint bleeding over the edges of specific letters — the family finds rhythm in its irregularity.

Plebeian is used as the cover typeface for @fsgoriginals ‘All Flesh’ by Ananda Devi, translated from the French by Jeffrey Zuckerman. 
From the publisher: “Bullied at school with near-hellish doggedness by cold-hearted classmates and fattened at home with increasingly extravagant feasts by an overindulgent father, the voracious narrator of All Flesh trudges through her teen years certain that her heft is because she has absorbed her twin sister in utero and is now eating, and living, for two.

As those around her look down on her corpulence, she struggles to see who she might be beyond such narrow-mindedness. When a near-fatal incident unexpectedly brings a man and a heady experience of the body’s other pleasures into her life, she gets a decadent taste of a future she had never dared to imagine. But she is beset once more by sharp tongues and beady eyes until, finally, she devises a drastic way to turn the tables on her tormentors and the whole unjust world. But will her coup de grâce prove self-possessed, or self-destructive?” Designed by @chargrimm Art direction by @na_son Artwork by @georgerouy Plebeian designed by @btuttle Plebeian is available via link in bio ↗

Type designer @saschahopson builds a visual relationship between the shape of the Rococo style scalloped serifs of the 18th century and contemporary inktraps with the Spades family. Hopson found that the juxtaposition of the inktraps’ inner-counter to the scalloped serifs almost represents a mirror of the serif shape itself. Spades is available via link in bio ↗

Vanity Condensed is used by @metmuseum for the titles of exhibition, “Man Ray: When Objects Dream”. From The Metropolitan Museum: Man Ray: When Objects Dream at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the first major exhibition to examine the radical experimentation of American artist Man Ray (1890–1976) through one of his most significant bodies of work, the rayograph. Man Ray coined the term rayograph to name his version of the 19th-century technique of making photographs without a camera. Featuring 160 rayographs, paintings, objects, prints, drawings, films, and photographs, Man Ray: When Objects Dream highlights the principal place of the rayograph—a type of cameraless photograph—within the context of many of the artist’s most important works. This exhibition includes thirty-five works by Man Ray which are part of the major promised gift of nearly 200.

Inspired by the study of type design and experimental music techniques, the name “Etude” comes from the French verb “étudier” rooted in the meaning of “study.” True to the name, Etude is a study of the broad nib pen, the history of handwritten music notation, and the influence of Jean-Pierre Rousselet’s constructed stencil forms into three distinct weights.

As a focus for @edouard.berard diploma project during his Masters in Type Design at @ecal_ch , his long-standing interest in British and Scottish type history led Berard to exploring prominent U.K. typographers of the 18th and 19th century. Through early research into 18th century Scottish typefounder Alexander Wilson’s work with the Wilson Foundry, Berard discovered William Miller. The latter Scottish typographer’s work was further developed through his own practice at the Miller Foundry (1809), later named the Miller & Richard Foundry (1838). The transitional faces developed at the Miller & Richard Foundry became a primary reference for the project.

Plebeian is an experimental sans serif text typeface that attempts to showcase the modularity found in latin letterforms. Based on the idea of the ‘lettermodel’ as described by Frank E Blokland, Plebeian breaks down curves into individual strokes, and treats them as if drawn with fat-nibbed marker.
