Omnes gets smarter!

Now available in cross-platform OpenType format (and backwards-compatible, so it won’t break your documents), Omnes Pro adds new depth to the industrious charm of the original. We’ve broadened the designer’s palette with robust new features for professional typography: extended language support, letters and numbers in shapes, true fractions, monospaced numbers for tables & forms, and eight styles of arrows, all across a wide gamut of nine weights!

If you’re already using Omnes, please take advantage of our special upgrade pricing. Thank you for using our fonts, and as always, we love to see what you’re making.

More goodies are coming soon. Stay tuned!

Custom Typography

This is something of an ongoing project. Art Director Neil Jamieson really liked Jubilat, but wanted a slab with square terminals. Dropping the contrasts required by ball terminals required that we take down the contrast generally, which is especially nice at small sizes, and makes for a much stronger match for the content. Only a handful of characters changed here, but the details make all the difference.

On the newsstand

For the launch of Pulse, a new supplement of the Sunday New York Post, Al Trivino chose Zydeco, a headline series in six weights. Al used the series to set a ‘super-masculine’ tone on the cover, and for signpost heads throughout. At about the same time, Page Six Magazine appeared, using several Freight series as part of the display ensemble.

Fontspotting

Mucca’s rebranding of this ginger liqueur incorporates an as-yet unreleased series of fonts. I hear it makes a pretty darn spectacular martini.
