Octagonist JNL is based on ‘Octagon’ [which was introduced in the George Nesbitt 1838 specimens of wood type] and is available in regular, oblique, solid and solid oblique versions. 

The font’s name is partly an homage (to the original type name) while at the same time making a pun on the word ‘Antagonist’.

October is the season for pumpkins - some of them are meant for soups, salad or other kinds of food. Others are cut into creepy looking pumpkinheads…and then there are the ones that are used for fun and games only! And that is exactly what this font is about!
Pumpkin Boy is my laid back comic font with a jumpy x-height and crunchy lines. If you choose to write in uppercase only, the letters are a bit less funky, but still crunchy and great for headlines.
I’ve added ligatures for double letters substitution for the most common letter combinations.

Anguita Sans is a condensed sans serif font family of 8 weights with matching italics- 16 styles in all.

The font is characterized by rounded terminals, a large x-height and a condensed structure, which allows you to create a good vertical rhythm.

Anguita Sans is a stylish and versatile typeface perfectly suitable for a wide range of applications- especially titles and short lines of text, in both print and digital media.

Bricola (rhymes with Nicola) is a condensed display face that contrasts soft curved outlines with sharp cuts and counters.

Sturdy and idiosyncratic, Bricola is an eye-catching blend of functional and funky, appropriate for headlines, labels and branding.

The licensed family includes Regular and Bold weights that both pack a punch, and also two handy italics (obliques).

Gravtrac is a slab serif headliner designed to deliver solid punches while taking up as little horizontal space as possible. Inspiration comes from mid twentieth century classics: Univers 59 Ultra-Condensed, Helvetica Inserat and Compacta. It’s all about flat sides, a steady rhythm and tight, precision curves. The widest style of Gravtac is Condensed—compact, yet a comfortable read, available in 7 weights from Ultra-Light to Heavy. Gravtrac Compressed is probably the width where most typefaces would quit. It’s narrow enough for most…but not for you. That’s why we have Gravtrac Crammed. It’s audaciously narrow—perfect for times where you want the reader to slow down and truly pay attention to the message. Gravtrac Crushed is devilishly slender. Try it with wide tracking for a stark, opulent look. All styles are also available in obliques varying from 7 to 10 degrees—58 styles in total. Gravtrac includes Opentype fractions, numeric ordinals, a breadth of currency symbols and old-style (lowercase) numerals. Almost all current Latin based languages are supported as well as Greek and Cyrillic. Every skilled designer already has slab serif typefaces in their stockpile but some of us have the need to squeeze.

A vintage newspaper front page from June 6, 1944 proclaimed “France Invaded” in a bold, condensed wood type that has been revived as News Event JNL – available in both regular and oblique versions.

Varese Outlined is the perfect font for giving content a retro and playful feel. Use it for headlines or for short body text when you need an optimistic or nostalgic tone.

It comes in outlined and outlined with a shadow for dimensional effect.

This geometric and modular typeface was inspired by Italian posters of the 1920s and 1930s. It playfully explores the boundaries between unity and variety. The blocky and modular characteristics of this font lend themselves well to tightly composed text either horizontally or vertically.

The lowercase is similar in form to the uppercase, yet many of the lowercase letters have interior spaces (counterforms). It comes with standard ligatures; ff, fi, fl, ffl and several alternate glyphs for number 1.

Varese Outlined has two siblings; Varese and Varese Soft.

Antique X Condensed is a condensed slab serif font found with the pages of a Rob Roy Kelly book of wood type designs.

A couple of years ago, I walked the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail in Japan. At the start of the walk, I stayed in a nice guesthouse in Tanabe city, which lies in Wakayama prefecture. I wouldn’t mention all of this, if it didn’t have something to do with the font name: Wakayama prefecture is THE mandarin orange (Mikan) growing area of Japan and the owner of the guesthouse had just picked a bagful of mikan, which he shared with me.

So, I had to think of that when I made this font.

Mikan is a nice, rounded family of fonts. Both styles come with alternative a’s (and accented a’s), which some people prefer for Children’s books.
