Blume is a decorated, slab serif typeface inspired by wood type, specifically based on Tuscan Egyptian. Blume alludes to the Modern and Egyptian era of typography, where wooden type slab serifs were the most popular form of printing.

Caelum, Miguel Yatco
Caelum is a decorative script typeface that is based on Jessica Hische’s typeface Buttermilk. Caelum is inspired by the idea of structures found in icebergs, as well as the constellations found in the sky. A combination of the two ideas brings forth a unique typeface with a three-dimensional look. Its most dominant feature are the angular lines and uniform italicized strokes. The name Caelum stems from a constellation found in the southern sky, which means the chisel in Latin.

Pixolita, Jensine Eckwall
Pixolita is a decorative typeface with inscriptional roots. It is sans-serif in the conventional sense, but has invented serifs made from arrow-like forms. The letterforms have irregular counters and a high crossbar, with a fixed line width. The forms of the letters are based on Pixaçao writing, a high-risk form of graffiti unique to the Southeastern cities of Brazil, which is feminized and domesticized through rendering in digital embroidery.

Brahman, Jake Wincek
Brahman is a geometric sans-serif typeface based on a fractal pattern called the seed of life. This sacred geometry creates letter forms characterized by the perfect circles embedded within them, as well as finials and stems that compress to an exact point.

Haircut, Elaine Ahn
Haircut is a decorative serif typeface. Based on the typeface, Pistilli Roman, Haircut emphasizes the beautiful juxtaposition of thick vs. thin stems; the letterforms are created by hand by arranging hairs of a wig to mimic the thin and delicate stems of Pistilli Roman. The elaborate serifs create decorative yet legible characters, making Haircut an ideal typeface for display type such as headers of hair styling magazines, hair salon logos, or hair products.

Grandiose, Dixon Wong
Grandiose is a sans-serif display typeface influenced by Futura. It is designed to show off its bold rigid appearance with sharp triangular polygons, yet maintain its cute quality with soft rounded characteristics. The main objective with Grandiose is to present not only the 3D look of the letterforms, but also have a three dimensional feel by creating it stereoscopic.

Lepus, Grace Kanazawa
My inspiration for “Lepus” came from my love of papert art and falling in love with a Japanese children book called “The Rabbit from the Moon” by Ranbou Minami. The main motifs of this typeface are the rabbit and the moon carved out by hand and layered with watercolor beneath to show dimension. It is used for both decorative and display purposes and is classified as sans-serif.
