Corsair by Ksenya Samarskaya released at Rosetta

“Originally commissioned by Best Made Co., its functional beauty was made to mimic the idiosyncrasies of handwriting. Naturally randomised letterforms lend it authenticity, while weathered edges and subtle variations add a rustic charm. The effect is an honest, approachable, and organic look that’s careful, but that doesn’t overthink it. ”

Frere-Jones releases Conductor

“This family began with material I had collected for In Letters We Trust a few years ago. Like that lecture, Conductor began with a simple observation, which prompted questions and conjecture and before long, a whole type family. Conductor is also the first family I’ve worked on with Nina Stössinger from the start, making it especially satisfying to launch. — Tobias Frere-Jones”
