danito Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Hey Everone, I'm looking for a Geometric or possibly Neo-Grotesque sans family designed by a female, or with a female as the principal designer. I've dug around for a good number of hours now, and most of what I could find features female contributers, but not nessecarily designers or principal designers. For Example TypeType seems to have a good number of female designers, and a good selection of sans families which fit the bill, but I can't really find any info on what the roles were, beyond the credits on MyFonts. This is what I have so far: ITF Equitan Sans - Diana OveseaITF Volta - Namrata GoyalParaType Stem - Alexandra KorolkovParaType Circe - Alexandra Korolkova Contrast Foundry CoFo Sans - a bit limited due to only 4 styles. Any leads or tips Much appreciated!
Riccardo Sartori Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 The first geometric sans that comes to my mind is Montserrat, by Julieta Ulanovsky. As for neo-grotesques, perhaps Transport, by Margaret Calvert and Jock Kinneir could fit in the definition. I will dig a bit. In the meantime, you could want to consult the Alphabettes. (see, for example, the links listed in this brief announcement).
danito Posted April 3, 2019 Author Posted April 3, 2019 Thanks Riccardo! I think I had mentally omitted Montserrat due to it's ubiquity. Great with a the heads up on Transport, I was unaware that had been updated, and could definitely be an option now. Also thanks for The Alphabettes link, I had already gone through all the lists you linked to there, and only found what I listed in the OP, however I have reached out to them, and digging through their site a little more I came across Excon by Alisa Nowak.
Riccardo Sartori Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 After a cursory look at some of the links, I found at least a couple of designers you could consider: The Northern Block’s Mariya V. Pigoulevskaya Brownfox’s Gayaneh Bagdasaryan 1
Greg Yerbury Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 There is the very new Journal sans old school on discount by Natalia Vasilyeva 1
