Strato Pro is a transitional serif that blends 18th-century elegance with modern clarity. With small caps, ligatures, and refined ornaments, it's perfect for branding, publishing, and editorial use — timeless and versatile.

I didn’t expect it 😀🇪🇺… Filson Soft font family in use
Spotted Filson on a Joli Mois de l’Europe poster by L'Europe s'engage en France.

A typeface I designed 10+ years ago, now part of a national EU campaign.

On this day April 30, 1977 – The Ramones play in France with Talking Heads.
Fluo orange + black. Helvetica Inserat for the bands. Antique Olive Bold for the date/price — Excoffon’s French touch.
Two typefaces. Maximum impact.

Great Canadian hardcore this morning with Propagandhi on Spotify. And a nice .notdef on Android Auto... Attention to detail, I guess. How does this still happen in 2025?! 🤯

As a type designer, I’m shocked!

💥 Sofia Pro just went variable!
She’s now rocking two axes — Weight and Width — for maximum flexibility and smooth typographic moves.
No more picking between dozens of styles — now you can fine-tune everything on the fly.

It’s back. Softer. Wider. Bolder.
A new take on a classic, designed for today.
A teaser to feel the rhythm, the curves, the texture.
Sofia Pro reveals itself.

🔽 💜 I have affectionately named this version "The Velvet Edition", a color that evokes the new imagery and the soft, warm atmosphere of the typeface in the specimen book. (Though certain tracks from The Velvet Underground are not strangers to this feeling either.)🎶

First record of the day. Abaddon was a Polish punk rock band, largely underrated. The album was released in 2001 and reissued in 2012. A real ear-cleanser!

The latest issue of CommArts (#65), released in December 2024, features Solena Pro, a serif typeface family I passionately worked on. 2024 ends on a high note, and 2025 begins with exciting typographic surprises—stay tuned!
