Let the Caslon revival begin. Replay, by Stefan Hattenbach, is a modern take on the classic 1722 typeface. The original proportions are retained, with shorter descenders and higher contrast for a more contemporary look. Three upright weights and three italic weights include OpenType ligatures, small caps, swashes, and ornaments that 18th-century type designers could have only dreamed of. A Veer Exclusive.
Paralucent Text is a text-weight version of Rian Hughes’ popular sans serif Paralucent. Designed to be complementary, its four weights provide small-scale options for fans of the original, which was spaced for optimum viewing at 24pt. To make it readable at smaller sizes, the tracking was widened, counters were opened, and the spaces between strokes and bowls were increased. A Veer Exclusive.
Raniscript is a bold, contemporary update of French ronde-style scripts, with OpenType contextual alternates, old-style figures, fractions, swashes, and ornaments. Three full sets of caps feature ligatures, case-sensitive punctuation, and language support. The script owes its unusual name to a chance sighting – designer Stephen Rapp was inspired by vintage matchbooks advertising India’s Flying Rani Express train.
Karnak is a slab serif based on 1930s drawings by Robert Hunter Middleton. Now digitized by Steve Jackaman and Ashley Muir, Karnak is rich with OpenType alternates, ligatures, superior and inferior numerals, and symbols. The family has 12 weights, including condensed versions and one extra-condensed weight called Obelisk – a second nod to the font’s Egyptian namesake.
A script as smooth as its name promises, Buttermilk pours itself along the baseline with subtle curves and ball terminals. Designer Jessica Hische has served up a typeface that’s both playful and practical, with ornate caps, elaborate numerals, and a rich selection of OpenType ligatures that transform your words as you type.
A playful sans serif inspired by 1950s Halloween advertisements, Candy Apple recalls a time when ghosts and ghouls dominated the trick-or-treating circuit. Like its namesake, Candy Apple satisfies in two parts. Outside, an extra bold stroke. Inside, a light calligraphic inline. Designed by Jason Walcott. A Veer Exclusive.
Jason Walcott wages war against empty spaces with Neutron, a bold, geometric display face that pays homage to the lettering of 1970s futurism and sci-fi. Neutron’s stems alternate thickness, from laser-thin to near-monolithic, and its characters slope forward with the urgency of thwarting an impending alien invasion. Western European language support is included – useful for tactical coordination with other defenders. A Veer Exclusive.
Mark Simonson’s Refrigerator Deluxe is a condensed sans serif stocked with typographic treats and OpenType coolness. Upper and lowercase alternates, expanded numeral sets, ligatures, dingbats, and symbols provide endless variations. There are four weights – peckish light, sensible regular, well-fed bold, and indulgent heavy – available individually, or together at a discount.
Until you’ve met Vekta, it’s hard to imagine three families living together in harmony. A growing type system, Vekta currently houses sans, serif, and neo variants designed to complement each other. Each family has four regular and four italic weights, and the resulting 24-weight super-family features OpenType, contextual alternates, small caps, and language support.
