Afire is a sans-serif of understated warmth and elegance. Through clean legibility and gentle embellishment, Afire delivers lively bounce with sophistication.

Raspail is a contemporary calligraphic font inspired in a copperplate. Raspail has a great inclination with extensions of ascending and descenders strokes, widely ornate,  and a special emphasis on the connection of the letters. This font contain more than 350 alternates, 50 ligatures and a great set of ornaments.

Confitería is the Spanish word for a shop where sweets and chocolates are made and sold, which sometimes has a tea room. And now Confitería is also a font that brings to mind lettering piped on delicate cakes ... sweet but never sickly.

This font captures something of that simple and innocent beauty of traditional confiterías, where good manners will never go out of fashion, menus are elegant and time comes to a standstill to make way for life’s little pleasures. A confitería is a perfect place to share sweet tidbits with a friend or date, eavesdrop on the conversation at the next table, read a book, or just people-watch from the window. I celebrated my last birthday at one.

There is one iconic confitería in Buenos Aires that I love more than the rest because, some 60 years ago, it put up its marvellous sign and never took it down. Walking by it is sure to bring a smile to your face. It’s big. Very big. And the lettering in its name is written in a timelessly beautiful vertical script – the most attractive I have ever seen.

I joined forces with Sol Matas – who worked with me to update the Montserrat font –to design this geometrical connected font with pleasant, even strokes. It is elegant and saccharine-free. And to top it off, it comes in several flavors.’

Welcome! What can we get you?

Fraktion Sans is a semi-technical grotesk exploring the space between mechanical sturdiness and expressive clarity. Compact capitals and squared-off rounds with true verticals lend the typeface a steady rhythm. It comes in six weights from Light to Black and offers plenty of typographic solutions through OpenType features like case sensitive punctuation, stylistic alternates, fractions, slashed zero and tabular and old-style figures. Fraktion Sans works great for branding, packaging, editorial or any display application and comes with an expansive character set that covers over 200 languages. Furthermore Fraktion Sans is manually kerned and auto-hinted for crisp display on screen.

Osaca is a sans serif font family inspired by nature and it is composed of 6 weights, from extra light to heavy, including the matching italics.
Osaca is a typeface that doesn’t go unnoticed due to its particular design: its curves and lines mirror the typical motif of leaves.
Osaca is ideal for large and medium headers and titles, but also perfectly suitable for short or large paragraphs as it creates an effect that is quite different from the classic sans-serif and definitely unique.

Coffinated features letters on coffin shapes. This caps-only family has two sets of characters, with one set on coffins that are flipped from those in the other set. The OpenType feature contextual alternatives (calt) prevents two characters from the same set being adjacent. The two styles, bold and regular, can be used in layers to add color. There are not a lot of uses for macabre lettering but Coffinated is available for those who do find a use.
