Inspired by the label of a humble shipping box, @xyz_type’s Export has eccentric shapes that command attention, while its rough edges lend a soft finish to the face’s blocky heft.

A nice case study on the bespoke #typography of @xyz_type for a 2018 @dartmouthsports rebrand designed by @heartgutsgrit. Fits perfectly in the endzone.

Big thanks to @TypismCommunity for listing my Lettering Manual among their fav lettering books! I’m in good company with Ivan Castro and @jessicahische and a bunch of other talented authors. Check out the post on the Typism blog: https://t.co/eHTIlOMZUY

We love @OHnoTypeCo here at XYZ, so we were beyond excited to be allowed to ramble on the Ohno podcast. Thank you James for keeping @benkiel distracted from
@TypographicsNYC fomo!

This Friday, at 3pm ET, we’re going to do another IG Live; this time on everyone’s favorite topic, Licensing. Come grill us on our license, let us know what you find confusing, watch us find edge cases in our EULA!

Trial fonts with limited character sets are—well—limiting.

So, we came up with paid trials: $20 for a family: all the styles, full features and character sets, and print and web fonts. If they work, we credit you that $20 when you buy a full license.

It takes us a good amount of time to decide that something is “done,” so we have a bunch of projects that are almost done. They do no good sitting on our SSDs, so we added in progress fonts to the new site.
