A few years ago I've discovered the work of one of the most prolific typeface designers of the Bruce type Foundry in NYC during late nineteenth century. Browsing Julius Herriet's work I found a very unique kind of ligatures in his patented "Old Style Ornamented" type design. Some letters were designed with a little top tail that allowed them to connect to each other. After that, I found that he also designed a single italic weight of the same font 7 years later. 


Since the beginning of the Opentype days I’ve been deeply obsessed with exploring different ways to build ligatures, so that lead me up to this point where I felt the need to create “Plethora”, this new font inspired by Herriet’s work. Extrapolating weights, adding variable technology and playing with additional interconnected letters and alternates. Definitely, Plethora means a large or excessive amount of something, and this font tries to bring back this abundance of details two centuries later. Available in 9 weights, from roman to italic, and also as variable format, “Plethora” supports plenty of latin languages and is a perfect choice for today’s design tides.

Saes Grotesk fonts from W Type Foundry - (ymicp)

Download Now Server 1 Download Now Server 2 Download Now Server 3 Saes Grotesk is inspired by the first sans serif typefaces from the XIX century. In America, these sorts of fonts were called Gothics, in Britain Grotesques, and Grotesks in Germany; despite these different labels, they pointed out two things: the lack of refinement and the change of type paradigm. The creation of Saes follows that idea and mixes it with contemporary aesthetic features.   Some letter endings like “a”, “c”, or “e” were projected a bit further, providing a contemporary vibe. On the other hand, we squared the grotesk “g” and linked it with the ligatures features to give a weird-good-looking texture when it is used to compose texts. We also looked at many old grotesk font specimens, and ink errors pop up in front of our noses. For instance, the bar of the pound symbol was slightly uneven; thus, we took these mistakes and put them in some letters as details, which enrich the organic vibe and make the ent...
