Dylan Condensed Font

Dylan is a Sans typeface in the best American tradition. In order to keep corners open and to make the font more readable in small sizes it has deep cuts where curves join straights. I designed 8 finely tuned weights

Viata Font

“VIATA” is my new experimental Sans again based on the modernistic, constructivist letterforms of the “Bauhaus” era. The names Herbert Bayer and Paul Renner come to mind as design beacons of that time. “VIATA” has flat tops and round bottoms,
