Typetanic Fonts: historical references, contemporary execution. Every typeface works across branding, digital, and editorial—and can shift between historical and contemporary depending on how you use it. #TheTypeFounders #TypetanicFonts #TypeDesign #Typography #Branding

New from Sproviero Type: Cisne, a display serif that started as an ode to Stunt Roman—Ross F. George’s 1929 Art Deco alphabet designed, in his words, ”to show off.” Sproviero took that as an invitation. Deeper swashes. More pronounced serifs. Visit sproviero-type.com and see if for yourself.

Working with type designers like Michael Stickley is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do at TTF & Stickley 2 reflects the kind of thoughtful expansion we care deeply about.
