Here’s a test image of the second member of the Beeching family, Beeching Small Capitals. You’ll see we’ve been exploring the possibilities of Small Capital Ligatures…to rather pleasing effect we think.

We’ve referred to our ‘Beeching’ project before, a small family to be based on Railway Station nameboards, yielding a nicely legible set of typefaces ideal for use in large scale signage. We think this design provides a clear demonstration that old fashioned details, such as serifs and ligatures serve to enhance legibility.

We’re nearly ready to release the Gondolieri family after just a few more last minute finishing touches. Gondolieri is a family of nine typefaces, based on an elaborated Didone design idea, and offers both display and text faces. It has something of an Italianate feel. In something of a new departure for us we’ve prepared a pdf booklet with samples of the family in use.

Ever noticed how anaemic many ‘Bold’ faces can look…just barely different from their associated regular forms. This is something that we had decided that Gondolieri Bold wouldn’t suffer from! So here’s a first sampling of the third member of the Gondolieri family-the heartily, undeniably bold face.
Testing,….Testing…..

Here’s a preview of the second member of the Gondolieiri family-we’re not quite sure if we will call this Gondolieri Text, but it is a simplified form of Gondolieri intended for seting larger amounts of text. Click on the preview to view a larger resolution image.
