📐 Numbers that always line up. Tabular figures are one of those unassuming features that make a big difference once you know they exist. All TypeMates fonts come with them built in as standard.

„I decided to include diversity and gender symbols in Alison, because I wanted to make my own statements with the tools I have.

Trust the process! Gustine evolved through many character shapes during the development of the family: some made it in, others didn’t. Quite some ideas had to be refined, tested and channeled. And why all that? Those wilder explorations within the process created clarity and ultimately helped shape Gustine into a cohesive system.

A collaboration across cultures. Here’re the Cyrillic duo behind Gregory Text: 🖤 Shoutout to Ukrainian designer Seryozha @typetention for redrawing and shaping the Cyrillic letters and italics of Gregory Text. 🖤Heads up to Sofia-based @kristaradoeva for reviving Cyrillic Bulgarian localisation and having a second eye on Seryozha’s work. #typemates #кириллица #cyrillic #MeetOurMates

Pensum is a typeface for text, text and nothing but text. A pure monster, straight and plain, it will reliably set word after word, line after line and paragraph after paragraph. Sometimes a spark of the sexy, curvy and sharply ink-trapped Italic will sneak into proceedings but the plain workhorse will keep on setting text. Deep inside, some sharp details are hidden and some brushy and smooth shapes lurk, waiting to reveal themselves in large sizes.

🔘 As powerful as any other member of the collection, Cera Round combines warmth with elegance and its support for Cyrillic and Greek makes it a reliable and engaging companion for international communication. Drawing on a tradition of machine-milled lettering and combining it with the technical geometry of Cera, Cera Round features circular stroke endings and softly rounded corners to create cheerful feeling text. Amongst its smooth, yet precise letterforms, the circular o takes on a new, striking quality. While the regular has been carefully proofed for long editorial texts, Cera Round’s six weights, Thin to Black, plus six Italics, allow for a whole range of expression in display typography. Where the light weights have all the cleanliness and precision of technical drawings, its heavy weights are playful and soft: perfect for strong headlines and packaging projects.
