“A lot of inspiration comes from the unknown and the naive approach to discover things.” We recently interviewed Berlin-based type and book designer Verena Gerlach to delve a bit deeper to find out more about the face behind the fonts, her influences, and her design process.

Following in a similar vein to its predecessor, Gerard Unger’s newest design Praxis® Next has the same sturdy shapes as Praxis. With a large x-height, weighty counters and open apertures, it’s legible on screen and off.

“Whoever does not respect the penny is not worthy of the dollar”. This proverb also applies to the conscious use of punctuation marks in text setting. Typography with impressive features that appear striking at first glance is compelling – font selection and a blend of fonts, appropriate line length, appropriate line spacing and typographic emphasis. The minutest details are just as important: comma, semicolon, period, colon, question mark, exclamation mark, brackets, hyphen and dash.

Harking back to the bygone era of the engravers of the late 19th Century, Sabina Chipară’s new design, Rosella™ is a delightful, and intricate collection of typefaces. Perfect for eye-catching packaging, posters and book covers.

Based in Argentina, Typesenses was set up by Sabrina Lopez in 2009. Sensual, exuberant, and full of personality, each of her designs start out as a sketch and is imbued with her vibrant personality. We’re delighted to welcome her brand new design, Limon to FontShop.
