About the family


MetroBots is a fun loving, non-traditional but very functional family of 6 fonts made of big city skies, the long tropical morning shadows of ancient ziggurats and entire pueblo villages, nestled into the steep cliff-sides of sage-topped mesas in south western deserts.


This is a good solid, but kind of whacky looking display type family borrowing from the heft of good old-fashioned children�s wooden building blocks and the look and feel of both modern and ancient pueblo architecture. With a bit of the not-so-subtle expressiveness of a comical robot on a WD-40 high on the side.

About Our House Graphics

My name is Russell McGorman. I design typefaces, and this is my Foundry page... I have been making and publishing fonts since 2009. After graduating from the Ontario College of Art and Design, I went to work as a graphic artist and silk-screen printer at a small print shop in Toronto where I worked on a diverse range of projects, from museum displays and prop signage for film sets to control panels for oil rigs and power generating plants. After a few of years, of that I went on to work for a regional public transit agency, designing signage and special products and later as a wayfinding specialist and designer.I began designing and publishing typefaces in 2009 after being assigned the task of recommending ways to make the signage more accessible... Among all the possible paths to better signage for the purpose typography stands out, and on closer examination, of course, the type itself... This led me down a deep rabbit hole that began with the simple question, “How exactly do digital typefaces work, and how are they made?” This quickly progressed to designing and publishing my own growing catalogue of fonts, all of which are created with a passion for excellence and a love for the art and science of type.
