活字書体「弘道軒清朝体」のデジタル復刻版です。四号清朝体を忠実に再現した「復刻版」と古風なイメージを残しつつ JIS 字体にほぼ準拠した「現代版」があります。

Kentledge is a grotesque sans type family based on geometric forms that have been optically corrected for better legibility. The family includes extended language support (over 200 languages), alternates, ligatures and more. It is best suited for graphic design and any display / text use.

Freehouse is a reinterpretation of the well-remembered Watney’s logo, a brewery and pub chain infamous for its poor quality beer and brutalist decor. In Design Research Unit’s corporate guidelines from 1966 the font is described as Clarendon Bold Expanded — however, this is not the case. Clarendon has square serifs, whereas the Watney’s font is rounder and friendlier. A fixture of the Britsh high street landscape for decades, this digitisation adds a full international character set, numbers, punctuation and many other characters that did not exist in the original. A distressed version that evokes rough print on a wet beermat has also been developed.

Casat Cap is a all-caps brush family.
The typeface is an original creation by Måns Grebäck, built during 2017.
Its five weight has been carefully designed and gives great variation to the font family:
Casat Cap Thin, Casat Cap Light, Casat Cap Med, Casat Cap Bold and Casat Cap Fat.
With its hundreds of glyphs, Casat Cap supports a very wide range of languages.

My font takes inspiration from repeating firearms of the mid to late 18th century, their sleek and elegant appearance that contrasts with their rigidity and simplicity is what I attempted to implement within the font itself.

I imagined the font being used for logos, titles, and other forms of large text as the font looks best when it’s finer details can be made out.
