Canella is a type family in four styles primarily to be used in
books and magazines. Using proportions inspired by 16th century
punch-cuners Hendrik van den Keere and Robert Granjon,
the typeface allows excellent readability in small sizes. The ltalic
is notably distinct from the Roman and has a literary tone.
It is situated in the transitional style period and is inspired by
16th century writing master G.F. Cresci and Robert Granjon.

Quño is a typeface family consisting of three styles, with two
corresponding italics. Every weight is executed with a different
brush tool. The idea refers to manual practice: to achieve a bolder
strokewidth, it is natural to pick a bigger tool. As a result, each
of the styles has a distinct, hand-made look. Yet, the underlying
construction model makes them work together in a family.

Dora is a type family consisting of four styles. Originally, its
construction principles, especially in the italic and display styles,
are based on a detailed study of today’s handwriting styles.
Dora is suitable for book and magazine typography. Primarily,
it is intended for use in small sizes, but its specific character
makes it suitable also display sizes as well.

As beautiful as Latin?
Latin is easy and enjoyable to write. Repeating arches
give an even, regular rhythm which flows smoothly
on a page. Most of the lowercase letters are based on
one harmonic model developed in handwriting.
In its own way
В то время как большинство строчных букв лати¬
ницы имеют в своей основе одну гармоническую
модель, кириллические буквы различны по струк¬
туре и могут быть объединены в несколько групп
на основе подобия элементов.
Красива, как латиница?

Laterica is a typeface for continuous reading. I aimed to achieve
the same kind of even, silvery text image that can be seen in
Renaissance books and to keep the dynamic of broad nib
calligraphy, especially in Cyrillic, where most of the letters
are traditionally symmetrical and static. My intention was to
bring Latin and Cyrillic typography closer together by finding
solutions that would work for both scripts.

Brida is made to meet the demands of a contemporary serif
based typeface. With its purpose for magazines and journals it
is set out with a narrow width, large x-height and open counters.
This makes it work well in slim text columns and in small letter
sizes, both important features in this area of application.
The overall text-image is designed to be interesting, open and
pleasant to read.

I decided to make it appear closer to a sans-serif but, with
the help of the serifs, get a better legibility for longer
texts. I saw this could be an interesting alternative to a
sans-serif. I therefore started to look for ways to make my
type look more sans-serif like. First I found that I should
keep to a low contrast but not so low that the broad-nib
system would disappear.
In my research I found "The Serif" by Luc (as) de Groot.
And, what I considered especially interesting was that
the n was missing a serif on the right leg.
Mince, Revista
ost magazines, if not to say nearly
all,were using sans-serif typefaces.
I had earlier decided to make a serif
typeface of which the main purpose was not
intended for book typography. So, what could I
do to make my typeface suit the purpose better?

Guia is a typeface for pedestrian guidance. It is a sans serif with
strong calligraphic features, based on the broad nib pen; without
disregarding readability or space economy. It offers a big set of
arrows, two different styles of circled numbers and a stylistic set
that makes it possible to transform any word into a sign. The full
character set is provided in superiors, so that long names can be
shortened with the use of superior letters.

Luciaan is one of the results of a four-month experiment at t]m.
Primarily inspired by a writing model from Edward Johnston,
it developed autonomy to grow into a text family comprising
regular, italic, and bold. Luciaan is suitable for book text setting
and for periodicals where copy-fitting is not an issue. Its specific
feel aims for timeless elegance rather than nostalgic romanticism.

Thuraya is an Arabic display typeface that explores a contemporary
context for the Diwani style with maximized calligraphic features.
Currently, it exists in two versions. Thuraya Slanted. It brings to type
a crucial calligraphic feature of the Diwani style: the slanted baseline.
This very unique feature makes it more suitable for lettering, headings
and logotypes, etc. Thuraya Straight. It has all the same calligraphic
features (curvy baseline, ligatures and alernates) with the exception
of the slanted baseline. This heightens its usability in short texts as well.
