Fontsmith foundry highlights.

Exuberant and unmissable, but playing a supporting role when needed. FS Kim’s display version was first drawn using a broad-nib pen to create familiar forms and elegance while still breaking from serif traditions and making it all about standout character. While FS Kim’s text version is more constrained than the display, the strength and playfulness remain.

An extraordinarily versatile new type system, with 70 variants built around five different widths and seven different weights. It takes inspiration from German fonts of the 1930s, with their roots in manufacturing and signage.

Lucas is based on near-perfect circles, triangles and squares. Taking classic geo formal qualities that have been optimised for the demands of modern brands, online and offline usage, readability and accessibility. FS Lucas is the bold and deceptively simple result.

A warm, sensitive face with a big personality. FS Albert is a friendly sans serif font; shapely, flexible and modern. Available in a wide range of weights, this font is a versatile face ideal for use in most applications.

A future-proof, 21st Century, open & harmonious sans serif design. Rooted in 60’s Brit modernism but re-born with neo-modernist vigour, Elliot’s clear fluid shapes lend words a distinctive and optimistic bounce.

A crossbred workhorse that draws on inspiration from Swiss grotesks, American gothics and early British grotesques. It refuses to fit neatly into any of these categories, it’s neither one nor the other, but all of the above. It’s kinda Swiss meets American… (but with a slight Yorkshire twang).

Takes its name from Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, described as “the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language”. As such, it’s a font informed by the very best literary typeface traditions. Smart, sharp and classical, FS Neruda bridges the gap between the classical and the offbeat.

A modern contrasted sans serif. Over 25 years in the making, FS Siena is tailor-made for high-end brands. Sumptuous, elegant, and eclectic, a nonconformist typeface with classical roots. With its heady mix of elegance and quirky charm, FS Siena is worth the wait.

Not a revival, but very much a contemporary & sturdier interpretation of a garalde – a class of typeface originating in the 16th century with characteristically rounded serifs and moderate contrast in between strokes. FS Brabo is a modern take on a workhorse serif typeface.

Originally designed for a new video-on-demand online service, its weights are finely tuned for use both on screen and in print. Consistency and strength in its geometric construction make Joey crisp and distinctive, while being remarkably relaxed in feel. Joey is formal, but he’s here to party.
