Rough monospace type with cowboy boots: Here is Justice! Initially designed in 2004, Justice has been totally rethought in 2017 for the visual identity of Ceinturama. For this new version the fixed-width principle has been used to turn this typeface into a kind of construction game. A series of decorative accessories (systems of borders, arrows and ornaments) have been developed in order to make typesetting more playful.
Designed from the outset to be as comfortable on screen, on paper as on wall, Justice has aesthetic qualities suitable for handmade signage. It’s your turn to play!

Designed by Alberto Romanos, Bw Seido Round is a semi condensed font family with rounded corners striking a gentle balance between minimal strict geometry and typographic refinement, conveying a subtle industrial yet friendly feel. It consist of 12 styles (6 uprights + 6 matching obliques) supporting all European Latin languages.

The design of Bw Seido Round started heavily Influenced by the systematic principles behind the original German DIN 1451, with its clean, minimal shapes and rigid geometric feel: Both the lowercase and the uppercase have their own horizontal waistline running through all the characters of the font, reinforcing the engineered feel and focusing the rhythm on its vertical pace.

Beyond the very obvious rounded corners and terminals, which are instantly softening the feel and positioning this font on the friendly side, Bw Seido Round presents a series of subtle typographic adjustments elevating the design while staying invisible: The monoline look is achieved seamlessly thanks to the subtle modulation and the corrections at the joins; the tall x-height married with the open counters and the unambiguous shapes make it a very legible font,... All these ingredients play a balancing game with the crude geometry by adding the right doses of warmth into the industrial feel.

The resulting combination is a very functional font family suited for carrying the weight of a contemporary brand’s visual identity. Its tabular figures feature includes currency symbols and punctuation, making it a great candidate for information design and annual reports. Bw Seido Round is equally comfortable in print as it is in digital environments, thanks to the additional symbols and arrows included matching each weight. Other OpenType features included on the Bw Seido Round font family are stylistic alternates, slashed zero, fractions, case sensitive and localized forms.

Galix is a technical sans designed to look futuristic without any of the retro appearance often found in this genre. It has a squarish, slightly condensed anatomy, and is characterized by thin joints and deep ink traps that add a sparkle to the otherwise monoline typeface. In the italic styles, these cuts are accentuated even more which creates a feeling of speed in the letterforms.

Galix is optimized for display typography (the ascender height is the same as the cap height, and the spacing is somewhat tight) but the middle weights are very readable at smaller sizes, where I'd recommend adding a little tracking. OpenType features include ft and tt ligatures, stylistic sets/alternates, automatic fractions, tabular, superscript and subscript figures, case sensitive forms.

Perfect for websites, apps, infographics, magazines and logotypes, Galix is technical but with a warmth and personality that is often missing from this genre.

Ador Hairline is the high contrast version of Ador. A humanist sans serif that falls in the “evil serif” genre, especially designed for contemporary typography and comes up with 7 weights from extralight to black plus true italics and 293 ligatures and initial letters.

The nice balance between sharp ink trapped and soft, dynamic shapes helps to work in small sizes. Diagonal stress, angled finials and the 4 degree true italic styles give Ador Hairline a dynamic look. The font contains 1.026 glyphs and a wide range of flexibility for Latin language support for every typographical needs. Ador Hairline is a contemporary sans serif typeface, special for logotypes, brands, magazines editorial and advertising uses.
