We like to take a no-nonsense view of typeface design. No matter what adjectives or narratives they are embellished with, typefaces by themselves are not going to change the world. We love fonts and typeface design as a practice, but we also think that the industry that we are part of can do with a sobering dose of critical awareness in its largely self-congratulatory, and exquisitely empty, public discourse. In the age of endless bluster and unreflective outpourings, our practice aims to extend the small provocations of quietude and honest work. Our retail library simply offers typefaces that we enjoy crafting as well as using. No hyperbolic claims, no fluffy descriptions, no contrived process stories — just fonts for what they’re worth.
