Early Sans counters the brisk liveliness and sparkle of 19th century sans like Breite Grotesk with the calm and steadiness of later Neo-grotesques. The smooth flowing s and a are answered by rational and placid forms of letters such as k or j. Notice the 2 degree curved instrokes of n, m and r adding to the soft feel and benefitting readability as ever-so-slight ink traps. The Early Sans typeface family contains five styles from Light to Black plus matching slanted styles.

Late Serif is a contemporary interpretation of Eric Gills »Perpetua« but strongly tailored towards a sturdy construction for small text settings. The shifting stroke contrast from diagonal to upright is less delicate than in the original. And yet Late Serif has an elegance through the organically flowing and merging strokes. This is amplified in the Italic construction, most noticeable in Q, g, k and y. The Late Serif typeface family contains only the most basic set of styles Light, Regular, Bold and Black plus one Italic style. It supports 210 languages through its Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts.
