Inspired by the label of a humble shipping box, @xyz_type’s Export has eccentric shapes that command attention, while its rough edges lend a soft finish to the face’s blocky heft. 👉 See Export here: buff.ly/3yY1yRA

A nice case study on the bespoke #typography of @xyz_type for a 2018 @dartmouthsports rebrand designed by @heartgutsgrit. Fits perfectly in the endzone. xyztype.com/custom/project…

Big thanks to @TypismCommunity for listing my Lettering Manual among their fav lettering books! I’m in good company with Ivan Castro and @jessicahische and a bunch of other talented authors. Check out the post on the Typism blog: typismcommunity.com/blog/lettering…

We love @OHnoTypeCo here at XYZ, so we were beyond excited to be allowed to ramble on the Ohno podcast. Thank you James for keeping @benkiel distracted from @TypographicsNYC fomo!

This Friday, at 3pm ET, we’re going to do another IG Live; this time on everyone’s favorite topic, Licensing. Come grill us on our license, let us know what you find confusing, watch us find edge cases in our EULA! instagram.com/xyz_type?upcom…

Trial fonts with limited character sets are—well—limiting. So, we came up with paid trials: $20 for a family: all the styles, full features and character sets, and print and web fonts. If they work, we credit you that $20 when you buy a full license. xyztype.com/trials

@proof_and_co @BlazeFoundry @TypeMatesFonts We heard nothing happens in August so we just ran with it...

Check your inboxes for the latest edition of the Weekly — this time covering two weeks which, in addition to releases from @BlazeFoundry and @TypeMatesFonts, were absolutely dominated by the work of @xyz_type. New fonts, new site, new custom lettering... huge stuff!

@nickydearest @RollingStone We embrace very nerdy! Thank you!

Here for this very nerdy case study on the new @RollingStone nameplate by @xyz_type: xyztype.com/custom/project…

The cover reveal! (And the lettering conceal...)

Read our case study to see the whole system, and get a little history lesson too. (6/6) xyztype.com/custom/project…

Thanks to @RollingStone’s CD Joe Hutchinson, CEO Gus Wenner, and EIC @NoahShachtman for entrusting us with their iconic brand. And to @RogerBlack and @TypeNetwork for inviting us onto this journey. (5/6)

The new Rolling Stone logo, designed by @jesseragan. (Trust us, we can’t believe we got this project either!) xyztype.com/custom/project… (1/6)

Remember unboxing fonts? #1990s

Or, the custom typeface we did for @Polymodestudio, Polymode: xyztype.com/fonts/polymode

This means that you can license —right now!— @jesseragan’s Elevator and Escalator (geometricsans.com): xyztype.com/fonts/elevator xyztype.com/fonts/escalator

It takes us a good amount of time to decide that something is “done,” so we have a bunch of projects that are almost done. They do no good sitting on our SSDs, so we added in progress fonts to the new site. Read more: xyztype.com/articles/fonts…
