Über die Familie


Inspired by the strange, blocky lettering on the sides of a set of a set of plastic kitchen containers in my childhood home, 8th Avenue is a sophisticated, somewhat syncopated font with a retro look and feel that at the same time brings a very modern attitude to your design. 8th Avenue works well as display font for packaging, headlines and logos. Those pastel turquoise plastic boxes from the early 1950s, with white screen printed letters reading FLOUR, SUGAR, COFFEE etc. on one side were a simple quiet presence in our home back then and for decades after. Seeing them, even that soft blue-green colour felt like home. SUGAR, the soul survivor of that set has become one of those mundane items of daily life that somehow become simple icons of another time, ripe with memories. Obviously I had to make a font.

Über 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.
