Rustic: A five-weight family with broad-nib-style slab serifs. It is based on Ehmcke-Rustika, a 1914 typeface designed by Fritz Helmuth Ehmcke. Published by Fontstand in 2017.

Carnival Extra Condensed: Digitization of an Italienne alphabet drawn by the Photo-Lettering staff, 2014.

OMV Highlight: A Latin and Cyrillic script custom display typeface for a Typejockeys client. Michael Hochleitner was the project lead, I did the design of the font.

Carlyle Quaint: Digitization of an alphabet by Paul Carlyle for Photo-Lettering, 2013.

Carter Sans: This one’s an assist on my part. Carter Sans is a “humanistic stressed sans” from Matthew Carter for International Typeface Corporation, 2011. Four weights, each with an Italic. I also did similar work in 2011 on Gerard Unger and Linda Hintz’s Demos Next, which Monotype released in 2014.

Malabar: New serif typeface for extensive text; designed at the University of Reading in 2008 and released by Linotype GmbH, 2009. Three weights, each with an Italic.

Morris Sans: Revival and extension of Morris Fuller Benton’s Bank Gothic typeface for Linotype GmbH, 2007. Three weights, each with two widths and small caps, oldstyle figures, etc.

Mountain: A four-font revival of the old Offenbach Roos & Junge Teutonia typeface; Volcano-Type foundry, 2006.

I also am working on some OpenSource fonts. Check their files out on GitHub: There is Martel Devanagari, a Devanagari text face with stroke contrast. The font family has seven weights, and the Latin glyph components are based on Merriweather, from Eben Sorkin. Then there is Martel Sans, a Latin sans serif and monolinear Devanagari family, which also has seven weights. There is also Biryani, a more geometric Latin and Devanagari pairing. Biryani currently has seven weights, too. Both Biryani and Martel Sans were designed together with Mathieu Réguer. Finally, there is Dasa, a single-weight informal-handwriting font for the Gujarati and Latin scripts.

Printing Historical Society grant (2018) for research into the distribution of nineteenth-century sans serif typeface designs within German-speaking typefoundries.

Colin M. Ford chose Carter Sans as one Typographica’s Favorite Typefaces of 2011. Paul Shaw chose Carlyle Quaint as one of Typographica’s Favorite Typefaces of 2013.

Gold Award for Malabar: First place in the typeface design category, Joseph Binder Award competition 2010. Design Austria.

Malabar awarded the Federal German Design Prize in gold for 2010: Gold beim Designpreis der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 2010, Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Technologie und Rat für Formgebung (German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, German Design Council).

Silver Award for Malabar: Original Typeface category, European Design Awards competition. ED-Awards 2009.
