Showcasing the Vinea Typeface Family

Par Avion Re-Worked…
Par Avion’s design draws something of itís inspiration from the old BSA Motorcycles logo and was developed in parallel with our Vinea typeface family. ‘Par Avion’ means ‘By Air’ – remember those little blue stickers in the Post Office.

Coming Soon…. Alfrine
Alfrine is a project we’ve had ‘on the back burner’ for quite some time, though we don’t think we’ve presented it here before.

Three New Releases on Fontspring…
Three of our latest projects, Alfrere Banner, Barollo and Lugano have just launched on Fontspring.

We seem to have a wheeled transport theme on our mind just lately…
Alfrere Banner Incised…
We present further development of Alfrere Banner… Alfrere banner incised. Here it is in use. Alfrere Banner is not quite ready for release yet, but it will be soon…
