Custodia and TheSans
Today we examine the pairing of Fred Smeijers’s Custodia and Luc de Groot’s TheSans (also known as Thesis Sans). What surprises me most seeing these two at work together isn’t how one pulls the other in a specific direction, but rather how very much at home the two Dutch designs appear to be with one [...]

Pinterested: High-5!
Looking forward to the Fifth of May? Get ready by browsing a bunch of 5s on our I Got 5 On It pinboard. From different font categories from Ayres Royal‘s swashy blackletters to HGB Lombardisch‘s deliciously inky glyphs to bold display faces like Parkinson Type Design‘s Sutro Shaded Initials, these glyphs will look good in [...]
