Hanae
by Flavia Zimbardi and Ayaka B. Ito
Named after the trailblazing Japanese fashion designer, the first Asian woman to join a Haute-Couture house in Paris—Hanae Mori. Editorial in its heart, fashion in its soul, Hanae is a contemporary typeface that ties familiarity and beauty, elegance and fluidity. An evolution from the Old Style Antique, particularly Caslon, combined with the large x-height and wide proportions from Bookman, the classic aesthetic from Times New Roman, and some quirks from Baskerville.
Octavia
by Flavia Zimbardi and Tida Tep
A low contrast type family inspired by Film Noir titles and end credits from the 1940s–50s. First designed by Tida Tep in 2017 (as her degree project for the Type@Cooper extended program in New York), Octavia shines with a nostalgic charm and open color that provides optimal readability—especially at small sizes against dark backgrounds. Regular weight is the initial release of a bigger family encompassing 16 styles, from Hairline to Black and its matching italics.
Jobim
by Flavia Zimbardi and Inga Plönnigs
Jobim draws its primary inspiration from the French classic Vendome (likely the most famous modern Old Face), designed by Francois Ganeua in 1951, but drifts away from a historical revival infusing a vernacular approach based on the lettering from the poster of Orfeu Negro. Replacing the dynamic, expressive flow of Vendome with a simpler, more orthogonal axis, Jobim manages to be both brutal and elegant. Suitable for big sizes, the Compressed Black is just the first of a family planned with 48 styles that will include up-right and italics.
Corax
by Júlia Lago
Corax is a sophisticated, high contrast, serif typeface that explores the italic construction in up-right letterforms. With calligraphic influences and an unexpected gothic twist, this beautiful Frankenstein will surely add a touch of drama and mystique to most applications. Designed to behave as a digital lettering, the current 3-weight family has several alternates, including a second set of ornamental capital letters. Want more? No worries, Júlia is working on bolder styles and real italics.
Gigio
by Ana Laydner
Gigio was born in Argentina—as Ana Laydner's graduation project at CDT-UBA in Buenos Aires—and raised in Brazil. A friendly yet strong slab serif, inspired by comic books, that welcomes all kinds of narratives. Combining a mechanical structure with calligraphic strokes and rather condensed proportions, the 5-weight family (from Book to Extrabold) works nicely in text, while uncovering quirky details in larger settings. Version 0.1 has uprights only, but italic companions are coming next.
Profane
by Tassiana Nuñez Costa
Rooted in gothic tradition, Profane evokes a modern interpretation of 14th-century inscriptions found in the Metz Cathedral (France). Blending angularity and softness, this display typeface preserves the medieval spirit with gargoyle-like terminals and diamond-shaped counterforms while adding a melted quality with rounded serifs and gooey ligatures. A striking graphic tension that grants distinctive and expressive texture to your scriptural needs.
