  • Giorgio by Commercial Type ft. Christian Schwartz, Panos Haratzopoulos, Ilya Ruderman, Vincent Chan

  • Le Jeune Poster by Commercial Type ft. Christian Schwartz, Paul Barnes, Greg Gazdowicz

    Specimen

    Le Jeune, designed by Commercial Type partners Paul Barnes and Christian Schwartz for Chris Dixon’s refresh of Vanity Fair, is a modern adapation of the French Modern (Didot) idiom. Where the French Moderns typically feature soft teardrop forms, Le Jeune features sharp, round ball terminals more typical of British and American Moderns. — Commercial Type

  • Kessler by Production Type ft. Alaric Garnier

    Specimen

    Kessler finds its own peculiar voice with this “slab-but-not-so-much”. Sturdy and clear at the same time: that’s the tension achieved by Garnier, who devised shapes that are both delicate and resilient. — Production Type

  • Semplicità by Canada Type ft. Alessandro Butti, Patrick Griffin, Bill Troop

    Specimen

    Designed by Alessandro Butti in the 1930s, Semplicità was the foundation for the redesign of the Céline logo—which might help make up for the dark fact that it's also known for being the most popular sans serif in Italy during the Fascist era. It feels a little too Deco to be in style today, but everything is cyclical, so keep it around and see.
