Taleggio
Foundry
Independent foundry.
Display type, made slowly.
01Zarafshan
Coming soonA Latin alphabet with a Persian accent.
Zarafshan is named after the river that runs past Samarkand. It borrows the rhythm of Persian calligraphy rather than its exact forms, with generous curves, fine contrast and an easy, handwritten flow.
A face for stories and the places they come from. Set it large, on book covers, posters, labels and menus.

02Fanlight
In the makingCondensed capitals with a line of light.
A fanlight is the half-round window above an old shop door, often painted with the name of the shop. Fanlight comes from that sign-painting tradition: tall, narrow capitals with a fine inline.
Made for a single word read from across the street, on signs, shop fronts, labels and packaging.
