DIN Vario (multi) variable font infinitely adjustable in 3 axes: from thin to black: from Compressed to Expanded Italic Angle: from 0 to 15°
The fact that there are finally user programs that support variable fonts and thus offer the user the possibility to make fine adjustments in line thickness and width without having to deform the characters unnecessarily, immediately thrilled me as a font designer. You can use this technique in different ways. Either they are used to achieve only marginal deviations between small and large font sizes, for example, or, as is also possible in DIN Vario, to cover a wide spectrum between thin and black, narrow and wide and in a third axis even a stepless italic angle between 0 and 15°. This task places special demands on the designer and not every type face is equally suitable for this, because shapes must be designed at the respective extremes, which provide a correct result in every possible intermediate interpolation. It was a particular concern to me that the italic angle should also be infinitely adjustable, because how many times have one thought: why exactly 10°? What about 9° or 12°? This can only works with a few fonts with high quality and without loss. DIN Vario, however, is suitable for its robust design, really perfect for this new technology. In order to be able to react additionally to individual requirements, it is possible to change the form of the “a” and “g” from double-storey to single-storey and vice versa by setting the corresponding style-set (under OpenType features) not only in the italics, but also in all fonts.

Legit Didone is a didone typeface that features both optimal readability in small sizes as well as elegant aesthetics in display use. The standout feature of our Legit superfamily is its innovative uniwidth system: all weights and styles are 100% compatible in width and remain swappable without altering the layout. The typeface comes with a set of ligatures and stylistic alternates as well as strong and clear accents to support more than 36 languages.

Bartosh is the American short form for Bartholomew. Although I chose this font name because of its sound and its short conciseness, I also liked the fact that Bartholomew had been one of the 12 apostles who had worked in India and Iran and the idea that his spirit could be the inspiration for my work.
Bartosh was designed for display on the screen: the large x-height and the clear, open shapes facilitate readability. As a result, it develops a strong expression of character and makes it ideal for headings or highlighting individual text passages – it is ideal for captions of any kind.
In each of the six weights, it unfolds its own and special charm. The extra-bold version is particularly noteworthy because fonts in this stroke width are rare and it is precisely these extreme bolds that give them a special graphic appeal.
For all fonts there are matching italics in a well-developed set of 677 characters. In addition, it is possible to change the digits and currency characters from proportional to tabular or OldStyle via the OpenType feature, and small caps are also available in all fonts.

A laid-back family, Conversa fonts are available in two weights, both all-caps with alternate glyphs on lowercase slots. Choose your preferred alternates by hand or simply turn on the Open Type contextual alternates feature to make them automatically cycle. There are some ornaments too, for a little twist here and there.
Conversa is a new take on ‘Outside In’ font, which is part of the ‘Outside’ font duo.
Give it a try, easygoing-ness guaranteed!
