We are proud to announce the release of Storefront.
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/sudtipos/storefront-pro/
Storefront is what the prolific and talented American sign painters of the 1920s and 1930s would have created if they had access to the advanced lettering and type technologies we have today. Rooted in an incomplete Alf Becker alphabet sample, Storefront is my usual overdose on alternates and swashes, my eternal attempt at giving typesetting that ever-elusive handmade impression.
Though the main shapes, especially the majuscules, are almost a standard recitation of the natural evolution of nineteenth century scripts, the additional variants available within the font provide a leap in time to what sign makers and packagers are doing today. I can honestly say that Storefront’s influences are probably less historic and more in line with my recent travels and frequent supermarket visits. It’s difficult to avoid current visual culture when you’re constantly bombarded with it. Not that I try. I certainly welcome the overflow. I’m probably addicted to it by now.
With a very cool aesthetic, plenty of alternates and swashes, extended Latin language support, Storefront is over a thousand glyphs for your branding, packaging, and sign making pleasure.

We are proud and happy to announce that Piel Script was selected as one of the 53 winners of the ATypI competition.
http://letter2.org/winner/piel-script/
Letter.2 aims to provide a wide-angled snapshot of the state of typeface design around the globe ten years after the 2001 competition, and to promote typographic excellence and best professional practices. It also intends to raise awareness about the role of typography at encouraging and maintaining cultural diversity.
Kozmetica is new original elegance from the dynamic team of Koziupa and Paul. Soft, warm forms made of pensively fluid strokes make for comfortable and classy delivery with just enough ornamentation to evoke the rich days of art deco. Kozmetica comes with plenty of alternates, focusing in particular on the degree of lowercase ornamentation. The setting can be simple and straightforward, or swashed with hairlines seamlessly emanating and swirling from beginning or ending forms. As usual with Koziupa/Paul fonts, Kozmetica’s ideal use is in packaging design. Kozmetica covers all Latin-based languages. More fonts > Visit Sudtipos

During my early days as Graphic Designer I was a fan of Eye Magazine from UK @eyemagazine and I was able to find it here. After economic crisis it was really expensive so I stopped the subscription in #38. Now, 10 years later I found my self being included in their #80 issue. 8 pages of happiness.

En mis primeros años como diseñador era fanático de la revista Eye de Inglaterra. Era posible conseguirla en estos lares hasta que la crisis económica la volvió imposible. La abandoné en el #38. 10 años después, en el #80, aparece un artículo sobre mi trabajo. Son 8 páginas de felicidad.
(Special thanks to Jon Parker for the text, beautiful words).
We are proud to announce the release of a new Koziupa & Paul font. Coche is a different kind of work from Koziupa and Paul. It is a connected script with a strong corporate feeling that aims to fill a gap in modern product branding. Coche means automobile, and one can easily envision a car’s logo set with this font. Coche comes loaded with alternates and a complete set of small caps that nicely complement the caps and lowercase. This is the font for the modern designer-as-jockey who loves mix-and-play typography. Coche covers all Latin-based languages. More fonts > Visit Sudtipos
