The cross between calligraphy and sans serif is rare, inhabiting territory between Hermann Zapf’s Optima, classical sans structure with a calligraphic spirit, and Warren Chappell’s Lydian, classical calligraphy without serifs.

Carp•VARIABLE•

Carp is Marie Otsuka’s streamlined take on the humanist sans-serif genre inspired by Excoffon’s Antique Olive, where the tops are heavier than the bottom parts of the letter. In Carp, this asymmetric weight balance and contrast is exaggerated in the heavier styles, while the lighter styles lean toward a more functional monolinear sans. Complete with variable axes across width and weight, the result is a versatile family suitable for both expressive display and robust body text.

Daleys Gothic

Cyrus Highsmith began work on Daley’s Gothic in 1997, experimenting with a steel brush and ink on paper.

He named the family after his mother, who taught him how to draw.

Ag

Cyrus Highsmith began Gasket as a single font to accompany his illustrations in a children’s book. The amiable series moves with a gentle hop thanks to the slight slant and subtly staggered endings. He added weights, italics, and small caps for Gasket’s release into the world.

Gasket Unicase Gasket Uncial

Gasket Uncial

The most famous example of uncial lettering is found in The Book of Kells, circa 800 CE. However, the uncial script dates all the way back to the fourth century. Cyrus Highsmith updates this ancient calligraphy in Gasket Uncial. He hopes his Irish ancestors would be proud.

Magmatic•VARIABLE•

Magmatic is a massive sans serif series from Cyrus Highsmith and June Shin. Its nuts-and-bolts character remains steady through an extensive range of widths and weights. The design was loosely inspired by Japanese Showa-era typefaces found on shipping labels, machinery, and buildings.

Occupant Modern•VARIABLE•

Occupant Modern is Cyrus Highsmith’s exploration of the Didone or modern classification of typefaces. It was inspired by Kocho, a high-contrast Mincho-style typeface by the 20th century Japanese graphic designer, Ikko Tanaka, who got his inspiration from the 18th century Italian punchcutter, Giambattista Bodoni. Marie Otsuka drove the design of Occupant Modern’s italics and assisted with production.

Occupant Oldstyle•VARIABLE•

Occupant Oldstyle is a 21st century text face from Cyrus Highsmith, assisted by June Shin.

Highsmith calls them ‘child-safe serifs’.

Pentameter•VARIABLE•

In Pentameter, Marie Otsuka explores the polyrhythmic potential that usually stays dormant inside the limitations of monospaced typefaces. As an “upright italic,” the letterforms create a lively pattern while their uniform metrics remain steady. The result is an inventive design on a syncopated beat that resonates with the poetics beyond code.

Ag

Prensa

Spanish for press, Prensa is a dynamic series for text from Cyrus Highsmith. He arrived at this family’s character through his process of “wrapping outside curves around the inside, deliberately creating tension between the two,” a technique epitomized in Electra, a 1935 bookface by 20th-century master W.A. Dwiggins. This tension really appears in the italics, which stray from the traditional forms to balance simplicity with vitality.

Ag

Prensa Display

Cyrus Highsmith designed Prensa Display to accompany his popular textface, Prensa. The display cut shares Prensa’s distinctive tension within the letterforms but has sharper features and a more compact fit. It also includes additional narrow widths for really packing in powerful headlines.

Quiosco

“Kiosk” in Spanish is Quiosco, also the name of a text family designed by Cyrus Highsmith. It’s part of his exploration of the work of W.A. Dwiggins and the contrast between the inside and outside of letterforms. Quiosco brings a lively texture to narrow columns of text and permits compact wordspaces with no loss of readability.

Quiosco Display

Cem Eskinazi took Quiosco and sharpened it for headlines. As he redrew Highsmith’s textface, Eskinazi imagined transforming it from something made of clay into something chiseled in stone. In addition, he also extended the weight range and drew a special set of figures to go with the small caps.

Rapport

Rapport is a grotesque sans serif that exudes warmth. It was born on the walls of RISD Museum when June Shin designed the exhibition Altered States in 2017.

Rapport’s whimsical features and general wideness contribute to the design’s quirky, friendly character.

June Shin added Greek and Cyrillic alphabets.

Ag

Scout Text

Scout Text was drawn to accompany Cyrus Highsmith’s popular utilitarian sans serif Scout. He optimized it for small sizes by increasing the x-height, opening the spacing, and adding tails to the lowercase ‘l’ and ‘a’ for better legibility. It comes in 4 weights plus italics.

Ag

Serge

Cyrus Highsmith is known for his all-round workhorse families like Antenna, Scout, and Salvo. In Serge, he lets loose the reins and raises a show pony. It’s an acrobatic design for decorative blurbs, signs, and headlines. The family has three weights, from Regular to Black, but all are equally light on their feet. A set of swash caps adds a subtle flair.

Ag

Stainless 2•VARIABLE•

Stainless was originally derived from Cyrus Highsmith’s slab serif, Dispatch. It began as a simple experiment but evolved into its own series. It’s been used in headlines and pull quotes in publications around the world from Señor Fútbol to the Wall Street Journal. Cem Eskinazi assisted with its re-release as Stainless 2.

Tick

Tick and Tock reflect Cyrus Highsmith’s long love affair with stencils as well as modular alphabets.

It comes in only one weight but it gets the job done when you need a word or two to attract the reader’s attention.

Ag

Tock

Tick and Tock reflect Cyrus Highsmith’s long love affair with stencils as well as modular alphabets. Tock is the mechanized version of the kit of parts established in Tick. It would be at home on a Bauhaus poster or on the side of a bulldozer. Like Tick, it comes in just one mighty weight.
