About the family


A different kind of beauty.


Silex began life in the labs of R.U.S.S.T Institute a number of years ago, starting with a skeleton of C.A.D./C.A.M system fonts, a disused tungsten carbide blade off an old milling machine for a soul and a little box of OpenType features for brains.


This family of 3 solid, Silex is a hard-edged, hard-working display fonts. Suitable for headlines, logos, heavy equipment and... If you are a wrestler or mixed martial arts fighter, your resume.


OpenType features include stylistic alternates, discretionarily ligatures, case sensitive glyphs, small caps, dozens of standard and discretionary ligatures.

About

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.
