About Milescut Font Family


Milescut is a display typeface inspired by some seminal covers the graphic designer and photographer Reid Miles created for the Blue Note Records between the 1950s and 1960s. Miles made almost 500 covers for Blue Note in this period, including some using the hand-cut technique that consists basically in doing vertical cuts in capital letters and numerals to create a unique style within the universe he created for Blue Note. Milescut is a tribute to this small “cut” 😬 in his trajectory within the greatest record label of all time. This idea came about while I was working on what will become soon a revival of a wood type that I fell in love with when flipping through a Specimen of the MACHINE CUT WOOD TYPE manufactured by The WM. H. Page Wood Type Co. Milescut has two extra sets of alternates that work cyclically when activated in your OpenType menu and lots of ligatures, pretty cool :)

About Tipos Pereira

Tipos Pereira is a type foundry based in São Paulo runned by Marcelo Magalhães Pereira. As a manifest of this one man company I have to say that I have love for the popular typography such as those seen in the streets out there, vernacular style and full of history, that's my inspiration whether they'll be Display or Text. I'm Brazilian born in Rio de Janeiro, raised and living in São Paulo, Graphic Designer, branding specialist and Type designer. As an educator I've been teaching Type Design and Libre Software since 2012 in my workshop Tipografia Libre.
