Alas is a new take on blackletter, a thousand-year old genre that can still prove refreshing. It mixes refined calligraphic elegance with psychedelic twists, like bottom-heavy letterforms and seemingly liquid swashes. Alas pushes boundaries: of the established type corpus, and of my own skill, in an attempt to make something that feels sincerely new.

Does anyone recognize these typefaces or know similar ones?

I’m working on a book cover about the US’ path to war, and I’m in love with these two typefaces. I think they might work well together.

What got me curious is that, some aren't using them and other are using it.

Do you enable -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased or -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale on your websites? Or do you prefer the browser's default font rendering? Curious to hear what other typographers and web designers recommend

Hey everyone!

I’ve been getting back into type design after quite a long hiatus, and I’d like to share something I’ve been working on.

This is Bright Grotesk Geo, a new interpretation of my original Bright Grotesk. Both are rooted in geometric design, but Geo explores a more refined, upright approach to the letterforms, with subtle adjustments to their proportions, construction, and overall character.

The family includes 8 weights, matching italics, and variable font support. I’ve also put together an interactive specimen page where you can explore the different weights.

You can check it out here:

It’s been really enjoyable getting back into drawing letters again. I’d love to hear your thoughts, particularly on the proportions, spacing, and overall feel of the typeface.
Thanks for taking a look!
