✨NEW VERSION✨ Name Sans v0.9 by @arrowtype further refines drawing, spacing, and kerning, especially in Italics. There are also new arrows, including extra looong ones for signage. v1.0 is just around the corner!

Stoked for Name Sans to have been mentioned in this very fun episode of The Interrogang podcast!
We're still thinking about that unfortunate typographic choice made in the recent We Heart NYC campaign.
😬
So, we put together a list of 5 picks for NYC-relevant typefaces from independent foundries that we think would have been a better conceptual choice!

Years after discovering she was dyslexic, artist and philosopher @shantell_martin partnered with @ArrowType to create Shantell Sans in Latin & Cyrillic to empower people to read and write, despite their relationship to words.

Shantell decided to release Shantell Sans as an open-source project to make it as accessible and widely-available as possible. I’m super excited that from day 1, you can get it on @googlefonts and use it within Google Workspace (Docs, Slides, etc):

While you’re here...
The OpenType “rlig” feature is necessary for the randomization of Shantell Sans (and more importantly, for the shaping of many world scripts).
You can turn it on in Illustrator, but it’s a pain. Please go vote on improved support!

So stoked to see this early use of Shantell Sans!
This custom font has been literally years in the making, and it’s extremely cool to see it out in the world.
Major kudos to @shantell_martin for making this happen and to @onuniverse for the super fun & accessible typography.

Just released: AT Kyrios, v0.2!
A curious, slightly psychedelic blackletter family.
It offers an optical size axis that adjusts width, contrast, letterforms, taking things from dramatic, eye-catching headlines to surprisingly readable small text.
