What intrigued me about Buslingthorpe was the virtuoso challenge it presented, of designing a typeface that would, despite a ridiculously tiny x-height, still possess a coherent harmony betwen upper and lower case, and read confortably. At the same time, beyond pure plastic formality, I was aware that there are strong connotations of historicism in this noble style, with overtones of regal magnificence, on account of the extravagant leading and generous point size required for adequate visibility—in traditional letterpress printing such proportions, with so few characters per square inch, were pricey and devoured resources. There are two iconic early 20th century designs in the genre: Koch Antiqua (Rudolf Koch, Klingspor Foundry, 1922) and Lucian (Lucian Bernhard, Bauer Foundry, 1925). Both these have x-heights smaller than fifty percent of ascender height, which nominally defines the category. So I made these my benchmarks, and determined to outdo them in dramatic fashion. —Nick Shinn, Orangeville, March 2021

Hoyle is a dynamic high-quality serif typeface. 

Drawn and created by Måns Grebäck between 2019 and 2020, this classic design makes use of the fact that timelessness is the best manner to achieve modernity; the letters are of such composition that they will always be simultaneously contemporary and traditional. 

Hoyle is a family containing five weights: Thin, Light, Medium, Bold and Black. Each weight is also provided as Italic, resulting in 10 unique styles. 

The weights are harmonic and created to balance perfectly agaist each other.

Hybridea is a serif font family which I designed to look strong but elegant.

You can use it as a display font or for longer texts. The name comes from the combination of style elements like curved serifs & big drops. I included all glyphs from all latin and even other languages so you can type them.

I am looking forward to see your products using Hybridea.

Prushkov is the first typeface that I made. Its name comes from the town I lived in at the time. The design was inspired by both geometric typefaces like Futura, and didone fonts like Bodoni. Its aim (perhaps quite bold) is to blend high contrast with mathematical excellence.

Prushkov will work well as a display font, both in uppercase and lowercase. It has a wide array of stylistic alternates for all of the capitals and some lowercase glyphs too.

Volkolak is the ultimate serif-sans-grotesque tribrid, its numerous cuts will give you many options to go crazy on typesetting! Volkolak is a workhorse type family, a living project. We will constantly update it and improve it to time’s evolving standards, adding features and correcting eventual compatibility issues as they arise. Updates will be free to download once the font/family has been purchased once.
