Ilai is a modern interpretation of 60s psychedelia. The design can speak in many different voices, from an elegant monoline to a deliciously top- or bottom-heavy weight. It can be clean and simple, or uncompromisingly quirky in its expression. The heavier versions offer a futuristic interpretation of psychedelic shapes, with the letterforms resembling slow-moving fluid or puddles of ink.

Meursault is a graceful headline typeface based on a popular 20th-century style, but with a few quirky twists. It’s a typeface that echoes a design used widely in the early 20th century, born from the burgeoning Arts and Crafts movement.

Ouma is an award-winning typeface named after the first interstellar object detected passing through our solar system, Oumuamua. Incorporating both conventional and inventive letterforms with a hint of monospace melody, Ouma supports Latin and Devanagari scripts.

Seismic is an experimental variable typeface that takes the traditional Bengali script in a new direction. Seismic is a modern interpretation of the Bengali script, with shapes left purposefully irregular to mimic the shivering movement of the ground during an earthquake.
