Avec’s personality can be defined by the tension within its angles of stress. The typeface features meticulous adjustments to its axis, creating a balance between traditional calligraphic tilts and modern, upright precision. Typeface: Avec Sharp - Bold. Avec is exclusively sold via our website, and can be trialled or purchased at socio-type.com

IN USE: ONSITE STANDARD for The Data Association by the wonderful @bielkeyang 🔤 More information by @bielkeyang - Enter Dataforeningen, Norway’s national tech organisation. We’ve had the pleasure of transforming their visual identity into a playful, bold and curious brand that celebrates the rich legacy of data culture, and invites a new generation of tech minds to connect. The full case study is on their website.

Although categorised as a ‘Latin serif’, Meso’s unique extreme low contrast positions it in a league of its own - with influences from Percy Delf Smith, Phillip Kelly, and Frutiger’s Icone. Meso is available to purchase exclusively from our website. Trials also available. Link found in bio.

📚✨ Sociotype Journal Issue 02: We’ve still got plenty of copies of Issue 2 stocked. MAKESHIFT explores how the old becomes new and the new turns strange; celebrating improvisation, quick-thinking ingenuity, and creativity under pressure. Across 240 pages of type and culture, we wander desire paths, scale shotcrete-clad terrains, and drift past the suspended façades of the modern city. From backyard vert sessions with Alvar Aalto to deep dives into hobby tunnelling with Hackney’s Mole Man and Elon Musk, this issue uncovers beauty in the improvised. Designed and printed in the UK on recycled and FSC papers by @fedrigoni_uk

AVEC by Hugh Morse @morsetype — The Curve and Sharp subfamilies are two sides of the same coin. Although they share the same proportions, weight and contrast, their personalities diverge due to subtle differences in detailing: Where Curved has a refined and classically elegant personality, Sharp has a more graphic feel and a bolder attitude. Avec is available to purchase exclusively from our website. Trials also available. Both links are in our bio. . . . . . #Avec #AvecTypeface #AvecFont #trialfont #sans-serif

🔢 Stylistic Sets — MESO is packed with 14 stylistic sets, offering a wealth of options to modulate between the design’s humanist origins and its more atypical features. Here you’ll see the first three sets: A friendly single storey lowercase a, a more grotesque double storey lowercase g, and a more humanist lowercase t, relating to MESO’s humanist roots. . . . . . #Meso #serif #sociotype

👨‍💻 ONSITE STANDARD meets ONSITE MONO. Built on the same technical feeling DNA, a mono extension felt like a natural evolution, allowing those qualities to be pushed even further. Both Onsite Standard & Onsite Mono (as well as a SemiMono family), can be purchased or trialled on our website. Link in bio.
