Loosely inspired by its predecessors, Asoma riffs on aesthetics of the past, embedding new shapes and ideas with an offbeat sense of nostalgia. A plethora of ligatures gives you the option to heavily customize headlines, titles and logotypes. Additionally, Asoma includes a full upper and lowercase character set, lining figures, math characters, punctuation, 5 distinct weights and support for Western European, Central European, South Eastern European and South American scripts. <img width="4838" height="1597" width_o="4838" height_o="1597" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/33186a7bcc92fc439d427e5f16a7ad8cd6363d2c32e2c9bf2b998fd537df22dc/Asoma-V3-03.png" data-mid="236597393" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/33186a7bcc92fc439d427e5f16a7ad8cd6363d2c32e2c9bf2b998fd537df22dc/Asoma-V3-03.png" /> Short for asomatic, Asoma speaks with a voice that is somewhat otherworldly, a step away from the physical realm and existing in a more transcendental space. This makes Asoma a great option for horror film titles. For some reason, it also works surprisingly well on packaging for black beans. At heavier weights, Asoma communicates a nostalgic feeling, emulating the design of the 1970s. Asoma thin offers a more subdued feel, perfect for the contemporary design space.<img width="2351" height="2280" width_o="2351" height_o="2280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f4595736c702e2901a8ab9243bc6cea93aad4d51acd2764878b1f9351253c2b/Asoma-V3-05.png" data-mid="236597460" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f4595736c702e2901a8ab9243bc6cea93aad4d51acd2764878b1f9351253c2b/Asoma-V3-05.png" /> <img width="2664" height="1668" width_o="2664" height_o="1668" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/58f9a93ad6107d74555b4c39203a429e7afa29652be2795c04e75bfc98d04c01/Asoma-V3-07.png" data-mid="236597767" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/58f9a93ad6107d74555b4c39203a429e7afa29652be2795c04e75bfc98d04c01/Asoma-V3-07.png" /> <img width="2664" height="1322" width_o="2664" height_o="1322" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/36ed65f0d660bcd805f7824415643bf2f9dc9b12c71ea4dc50520e38126c32f6/Asoma-V3-44.png" data-mid="236616498" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/36ed65f0d660bcd805f7824415643bf2f9dc9b12c71ea4dc50520e38126c32f6/Asoma-V3-44.png" /> <img width="2146" height="1267" width_o="2146" height_o="1267" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3eab40377309bd0bf45fde69004f7db8a34ffdce9e288b87fbe0d24c41a8ec59/Asoma-V3-43.png" data-mid="236616497" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3eab40377309bd0bf45fde69004f7db8a34ffdce9e288b87fbe0d24c41a8ec59/Asoma-V3-43.png" />Buy Asoma.

Instead, it is a summation of a genre: the grotesques that encapsulated the Swiss or “International” Typographic Style of the 19th century, such as Akzidenz-Grotesk and, you guessed it, Helvetica. <img width="3488" height="1550" width_o="3488" height_o="1550" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3070dbd79fbacb76957bc95264400e89049c3f24553a20184c4296748a2d29b3/Cognate-Grotesk-v0.2-32.png" data-mid="236650177" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3070dbd79fbacb76957bc95264400e89049c3f24553a20184c4296748a2d29b3/Cognate-Grotesk-v0.2-32.png" /> Rather than taking big swings in the style department, Cognate relies on more nuanced details. Smooth branching, a high x-height, slightly narrow proportions for economic typesetting, and just enough flavor to taste. A balance of precision and personality, Cognate channels a similar sense of order and utility to its predecessors, while reintroducing a feeling of humanity often missing in more geometric grotesques. Rationalism with a twinkle in its eye. <img width="1518" height="1801" width_o="1518" height_o="1801" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/02141dafe3981b3f7365045525139fbd2f81829a8ff4722c1c0590b8466076bf/Cognate-Grotesk-v0.2-05.png" data-mid="236650120" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/02141dafe3981b3f7365045525139fbd2f81829a8ff4722c1c0590b8466076bf/Cognate-Grotesk-v0.2-05.png" /> In a time where design trends come and go every week, Cognate is a sans for today, tomorrow, and maybe even next month.

A tough and composed exterior protects the delicate, expressive curves that make up Chary’s intrinsic character. A balance of geometric intensity and smooth, undulating curves, Chary is riding pretty high for a sans. This blend of order and organic personality give Chary a voice that is utterly zany but still somehow composed. Available in 15 styles with a weight and optical size axis, Chary maintains legibility at title (72pt), headline (24–48pt) and subhead (14–18pt) sizes. <img width="2668" height="3103" width_o="2668"

specifically book cover design. The sans serif letterforms are lightly flared to firmly plant the stems on the baseline, while also suggesting a handwritten and calligraphic quality. Exit strokes connect one letter to the next, round forms link together, and a variety of ligatures create even more interaction between glyphs. For those looking to keep things more straightforward, Outgo includes a stylistic set that prioritizes legibility, with more conventional letterforms and spacing. Outgo is equal parts traditional and uninhibited, contrasting the time-tested with the wild and experimental. This unique combination of traditional and contemporary aesthetics makes it a great choice for logotypes, book covers, and editorial design.Outgo is available here. <img width="2185" height="2181" width_o="2185" height_o="2181" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/65360bc230c127fa068f654ef809b1f7d471ea10361958090204d93de4f255db/Staircase.png" data-mid="197780930" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/65360bc230c127fa068f654ef809b1f7d471ea10361958090204d93de4f255db/Staircase.png" /> <img width="2185" height="2181" width_o="2185" height_o="2181" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e261fc054fbc116f16614ffe4b2fda031ec6701d8f3f0da6bddf8eccd5f93f2/Staircase2.png" data-mid="197780931" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e261fc054fbc116f16614ffe4b2fda031ec6701d8f3f0da6bddf8eccd5f93f2/Staircase2.png" /> <img width="2185" height="2181" width_o="2185" height_o="2181" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/23dbf58fddd68e4402f43e5b63338fee40e644deff73af23d9fb8ee9abe3aaff/Staircase3.png" data-mid="197780935" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/23dbf58fddd68e4402f43e5b63338fee40e644deff73af23d9fb8ee9abe3aaff/Staircase3.png" /> <img width="4202" height="4216" width_o="4202" height_o="4216" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0912c0fac1b893795a7a6fb4f0fb3644075d18a599025f290744e3f56a614a30/Liason-04.png" data-mid="197781642" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0912c0fac1b893795a7a6fb4f0fb3644075d18a599025f290744e3f56a614a30/Liason-04.png" /> <img width="6664" height="2765" width_o="6664" height_o="2765" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c62c99e009449fb317e99f2f5923d9ea42344de9fa8b75ae835e0c911cb639b0/olapsite_ouo_slides.png" data-mid="197783466" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c62c99e009449fb317e99f2f5923d9ea42344de9fa8b75ae835e0c911cb639b0/olapsite_ouo_slides.png" /> <img width="6667" height="2510" width_o="6667" height_o="2510" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/16d7ebea5dd22acdcd1d4a1689f10812508ed912afa6c6152522a1da1b92bf91/olapsite_outgo_slidddes.png" data-mid="197877575" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/16d7ebea5dd22acdcd1d4a1689f10812508ed912afa6c6152522a1da1b92bf91/olapsite_outgo_slidddes.png" /> https://jamesplattner.com/Homepage Fri, 24 Nov 2023 15:13:39 +0000 James Plattner Studio https://jamesplattner.com/Homepage
