Cosmetic is a very high-contrast family of sans serif fonts. As its name implies, it has been developed for exquisite applications, like the corporate identity of fashion or beauty product firms, or for cosmetic product packaging design. For centuries, the fashion world has looked to France for inspiration. Cosmetic does not disappoint; it is a ‘French’ typeface, designed by Jean-Baptiste Morizot. Aside from its general elegance, the most gallic part of Cosmetic is its lowercase ‘g’, whose form calls back to some early 19th century Didot typefaces. Each font includes a more standard-looking ‘g’ as a stylistic alternate, as well as a narrower ‘f’ that may be automatically substituted into the text via a Contextual Alternates OpenType feature, to help it avoid colliding with certain letters that might follow it. Cosmetic’s letterforms appear slightly extended when compared with many other typefaces. This gives the typeface’s details the room they need to shine. The family includes five weights, ranging from a quite delicate Thin to a Bold whose heavy, thick strokes elegantly paint a strong contrast with the letters’ thins.

Adso was born out of a research that studied the possibility of reintroducing Gothic writing in our contemporary world. Inspired by Textura, Adso was decidedly freed of all those little details that make Blackletter faces appear foreign or even displeasing to the contemporary reader’s eyes. Nevertheless, the basic features of Gothic color were preserved: verticality, modularity, and darkness. Adso is a gothic font for today’s age, highly readable and open to all fields of expression.

Blacker Sans is Francesco Canovaro newest addition to the Blacker typeface family created for Zetafonts by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini and Andrea Tartarelli after the inverse contrast Blackest,. Born for flawless font pairing in complex branding and editorial projects, Blacker Sans parts with Blacker’s spiky wedge serifs without loosing its dark, elegant character while extending its weight range to include thin, extralight and heavy for maximum versatility in display use. Contrast in the typeface is reduced to grotesque proportions, with optical corrections and fine design details to express the family identity. The result is a highly legible workhorse family that manages to keep the signature details of Blacker: the hook shape of lowercase “f” is hinted in “a”, “c” and “e”, while a nod to the original family spiky shapes appears in the ink-traps in “n”,”m”,”r”, “P” and “R”. This combination of a robust design skeleton with fine design details makes Blacker Sans suited for body text usage but still expressive when set in large size for display or logo use. With its wide set of OpenType features ranging from ligatures (both standard and discretionary) to stylistic alternates, small caps, positional numbers, and alternate punctuation; and its 1000+ characters offering language support for over 200 languages using Latin, Cyrillic and Greek alphabets, Blacker Sans is ready to become your next best alternative to the same old boring grotesque sans typefaces for branding, editorial or digital design.

Serat is a medium contrast flared serif with mixed up styles of classic typefaces which is highly influenced by early stages of Latin based hand writing. The lowercase are modernized versions of Carolingian minuscules, vertical stems which touch the baseline have been modified to have horizontal cut for simpler look and keep the calligraphic style for terminals & stroke ends. Then the uppercase are flared serif which were influenced by Roman inscriptional capitals. The font name was taken from the Javanese word "serat" which means writing (noun). It comes with some unique features, such as: - Carolingian style alternate for some letters (a,e,f,g,t), also comes with separated stylistic set for long 's', and long left leg 'x' and alternative ampersand. - Discretionary ligatures for all caps titling. - Standard Ligatures. - Tabular and Proportional for both Lining and Old-style figure. - Fraction with Nominator and Denominator. - Superscript and Subscript for numbers, etc. Serat would be suitable for "classic" themed work; poster, book cover, branding, videography, etc.
