Campton is a geometric sans serif inspired by early 20th century typefaces such as Futura, Akzidenz Grotesk, and Gill Sans, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Its balanced proportions and moderate x height combine geometric clarity with a modern, approachable character, making it a versatile choice for branding, editorial design, and digital applications. The family is available in nine weights with matching italics and a comprehensive range of OpenType features.
Galano Grotesque is a geometric sans serif rooted in the tradition of classics such as Futura, Avant Garde, and Avenir, reinterpreted with contemporary proportions and a distinctive character. Designed as a versatile typographic workhorse, it performs equally well in branding, headlines, editorial design, and extended text. The family comprises 10 weights with matching italics, extensive language support, and a comprehensive range of OpenType features.
Faktum is an exploration into the geometric sans genre, inspired by Mid-century modern architecture and interior design. Especially the combination of clear lines, organic curves and geometric shapes, highly popular among designers and architects of the second third of the 20th century, gave the impetus for a design with modernist roots and a contemporary finish.
The family comes in 4 widths (XCon, Con, Normal and Wide) and 8 weights plus matching italics, featuring a wide range of alternate characters and opentype features like discretionary ligatures, case sensitive shapes, different number sets and many more. Due to its clean lines and slightly organic structure, Faktum functions great in many sizes and surroundings, working either as a restrained supporting font in long paragraphs, or as a main actor in powerful headlines.
The story of Freigeist is a journey into the past, back to the early grotesk fonts and long before Helvetica and Co were standard fonts in operating systems. For what we take for granted today is the result of innovation and pioneering spirit of type foundries such as Caslon or Stephenson Blake in the 19th century, whose expressive designs are mostly forgotten today. The Freigeist family captures this untamed spirit — hence the name (German for “free spirit”) — and puts it into a contemporary context, resulting in a multi-faceted family with a wide range of applications, font styles and features for modern typesetting.
Magnat is a contrasting sans drawing inspiration from designs from the early twenties century and expands them into an elegant and distinctive contemporary design. Playful elements such as the curvy ear on the lowercase g or the long tail on the uppercase Q break the strictness and add character. The combination of closed apertures with the contrasting strokes create an elegant and distinctive overall appearance.
