[txjan] Download Girard fonts from House Industries

Girard


Whatever the medium, Girard’s love for typography was the common thread that wove his work together. We are honored that the Girard family has entrusted us to celebrate and expand upon the legacy of this design icon with this collection of fonts. The Girard Slab family gracefully synthesizes illustrative sensibilities into a practical typographic framework. Slab’s three widths and four weights ensure versatility in a modern editorial setting while its gentle curves transcend the sterility of traditional typography to add an unprecedented warmth and personality. From boutique chocolate packaging to the titling sequence for an indie vegan superhero cartoon, Girard Script deftly adds a contemporary sophistication to text and display settings. Inspired by a workhorse lettering style that helped Alexander Girard implement thousands of design elements in his overhaul of the Braniff identity system, Girard Sky pulls its weight in any contemporary application. In Girard Sansusie, each character stands alone as an illustrative element while coming together with its counterparts as a whimsical yet functional typeface.

FEATURES:

  • The ligatures feature substitutes specially-drawn letter combinations that combine two, three or even four characters to create smoother transitions and simulate lettering sensibilities.
  • Girard Slab’s three widths and four weights ensure versatility in a modern editorial setting while its gentle curves transcend the sterility of traditional typography to add an unprecedented warmth and personality.
  • Copious alternate characters and “smart” OpenType programming allow Sansusie to escape the rigid confines of typography to come alive as if flowing from Girard’s sketchpad. This animation shows a sampling of the swash characters available in the font.

GIRARD CREDITS:

  • Typeface Design: Alexander Girard, Ben Kiel, Ken Barber, Laura Meseguer
  • Typeface Production: Ben Kiel
  • Typeface Direction: Christian Schwartz, Andy Cruz, Ken Barber

Download FF Kaytek Sans Fonts Family From FontFont

Download Now Server 1 Download Now Server 2 Download Now Server 3 Kaytek™ Sans is a fresh take on the correspondence typefaces of the 90s - which were originally designed for the demands of office environments. Just like its predecessors, this text typeface is robust and hard-working - meaning it works well in challenging design or printing environments - but it’s not without personality. Look closer at the lowercase g and a, especially in the italic, and you can see some unexpected elements of subversiveness within the design.  This blend of sturdiness and quirkiness means it’s just as relevant for information-heavy projects, such as annual reports, as it is in more expressive environments. Although first and foremost designed for text, Kaytek Sans’ details shine through in its heavier weights and larger sizes, meaning it also has display potential.  Every style of the typeface takes up exactly the same amount of space, thanks to the way Radek Łukasiewicz created the design. ...

It also includes a little kick, separating it from other typefaces in that genre: its diagonal letters feature stark contrast. The diagonals that are typically written with thin strokes in classic serif typefaces maintain thin strokes in Syphon as well, even in the family’s lightest weights. Speaking of weight, Syphon features ten font styles spread across five weights; these range from Thin through Bold. Every weight has both an upright font and an italic on offer.
