Starting 2009 with a bang, we bring you Hannah!

 

Hannah is a font comprised of three versions that work together as one, producing not variation and contrast between weights but between widths. The loose, hand drawn quality adds yet another layer of personality to the font. Hannah is similar to one of our popular Hand Set fonts, ThinAire, but is available in OpenType format which makes Hannah much more versatile. There are also some additional unicase characters included in the font which can be activated as contextual alternates in OpenType.

A few weeks back we launched our hottest new font development, Agostina. In the past two weeks it has easily become one of the leading fonts in our collection for 2008 and has a bright future ahead of it. Along with its launch, we spent some time here in our Bangkok studio to have some fun with its open type swash features and styles. We began to experiment with the swash forms and it’s abilities in 3d and animation. This video, This is Agostina, is our final result of the past 2 weeks. Enjoy!

If you live in Minneapolis or happen to find yourself traveling through this weekend, be sure to stop by Robot Love this Saturday and check out some deals.

 

We just launched new collections of Smoke themed stock images aimed to serve for a great variety of design projects. Stock images work great for many still/image based mediums, but they can also be used in motion graphic projects as well. Check our example video link above to see a small example of how you can mix and match with the images in After Effects to create your own custom animations.

Agostina is a unique typeface in many ways. The obvious being that is is a Sans-Serif typeface that contains both beginning caps and ending lowercase swash letters. This instantly gives endless typographic possibilities to the user. Agostina takes advantage of the OpenType font format that opens further exploration with a full latin and limited alternate characters as well. With almost 300 characters, Agostina is a workhorse and a must own typeface.

We just updated stock for the Grid Systems shirts and added a women’s option. Enjoy!
