We’re continuing our open call series — a monthly invitation to explore our typefaces through posters!
Each month, we pick a typeface, share a special trial version of it, and suggest a topic for posters featuring the font. At the end of the month, we summarize the results and post the works we especially like on our social media and website.
This month’s typeface is Maregraphe Mega (Compressed & Extended) by @cstmfonts
The (simple) topic is: Ok.
Interpret it however you like. Any language supported by the typeface is welcome.
Send your posters to [email protected] and don’t forget to include your social media handle in the email!

We’re launching a series dedicated to typography-related shopping around the world — a selection of bookshops, studios, and small galleries where a designer might find something for themselves. For each city, we asked a type or graphic designer who lives there and whose taste we trust to share their recommendations.
Today’s guide is by Edgar Walthert, co-founder of the typographic Mastodon instance and organizer of Letterspace Amsterdam, and it’s about Amsterdam!

This is Halvar by @typemates in practice.
It’s not only built to be flexible, but technical. Apart from the SuperSlanted, all its font styles are multiplexed — a word in one Halvar’s roman or italic widths will occupy the same space regardless of weight—allowing for fine work in annual reports, interface design, or anywhere space is at a premium and the demands of reflow, rollover and animation need to be considered.
