Hardcover is an elegant new serif typeface for display use. It's one of my earliest typeface ideas, dating back to a sketch in 1978, inspired by the lettering I’d seen on mass-market book covers. More info here: www.marksimonson.com/notebook/vie... And here: www.marksimonson.com/fonts/view/h...

Riccardo Olocco from CAST has written a heartfelt obituary about James Mosley. It touches a note that will hopefully resound with readers, whether they had the chance to be Mosley’s students or not. fontstand.com/news/essays/...

This book is out now! Over 196-pages, it dives into the technological differences between the systems of movable type pioneered in East Asia and Western Europe. It is probably the most challenging thing I have designed so far but if it sells well, I might get to do it all over again in English 😉

Here’s every typeface that I’m currently working on (to some degree or another). Hopeful that they’ll all see the finish line before I start drawing 2 dozen new ones. Which one are you most excited about?

People perceive thickness of letters very individually, and that’s why we are conducting Font Weight Survey to understand the regional preferences of font weight. Could we ask you for 10 min of your time? The findings will be published publicly once we have some results.

New look! This name change is coinciding with the foundry’s 5th birthday and to celebrate, I thought I would confuse everyone about my identity (I joke, I joke). Moving forward, we will be called Arcane Type Foundry and we believe fonts are magic!
