Laima
Bogidar Mascareñas has done something in type design that I absolutely love: he began with a commonly known premise and took it to a place where no one has been before. Laima: a stencil? It has ...
Bely
What first struck me about Roxane Gataud’s Bely is how it combines plain rectangular slabs on the bottoms of its letterforms with sharp triangular serifs on top. I would have assumed that this ...
Garalda
I liked Garalda immediately. It’s an attractive interpretation of the French Renaissance style by Xavier Dupré, who’s a strong enough talent to make something special of it and distinguish i...
Portada
Portada is one of those typefaces that just feels right. There are no obvious “look at me” features, clever design traits, or signature glyphs. Instead, it’s perfectly crafted for its inten...

Bree
As with all good work, careful attention has been given to the details: the looped tails of g, y, and z; the petals that form the asterisk; the opposing curves that give shape to the section glyp...
Givry
While Givry may not be what you’d immediately classify as a blackletter, for my buck the bâtarde flamande style fits the bill perfectly. ... If you want a similar old school feeling, and a sch...
