Refined, never fussy. Sancoale Contrast on perfume packaging. https://t.co/FQl1mx0EmX #SancoaleContrast #packagingdesign #typography

Spotted in the wild at storytime: Mynaruse Royale on Song of the Stars. A kids' book title has to charm the child and survive the fortieth read-aloud. This one does. https://t.co/tbH1VqUwi9

Poise, from Thin to Black: 48 fonts on one skeleton. https://t.co/FQl1mx0EmX #SancoaleContrast #typography

[insigne Design @insigneDesign]

A geometric sans raised on retro scripts: Pauline Light draws each letter in slow, rounded brush strokes and lets tall ascenders supply the naive charm. Best in titles, where sweetness reads as confidence.

Sancoale Contrast is here: a high-contrast sans in 48 styles. Eight weights, three widths, italics, and the same bones as Sancoale and Sancoale Gothic. Now on MyFonts: https://t.co/FQl1mx0EmX #SancoaleContrast #typography #newfont

Someone please tell Claude that Fraunces is a terrible benchmark for type before an entire generation of type is screwed up.

Five Cs, then an Arabic 2 with a long tail: 1502, in Roman numerals for as long as anyone could be bothered. Brushed capitals on a glazed altarpiece at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, naming Sister Caterina, who had it made.

Spotted in the wild by a friend at a Bryce Canyon exhibit: Cabrito in the small print under the headline. You have to lean in. That's what supporting roles are for. https://t.co/Xo1XUqDRdn

Few letters carry so little ink and so much nerve. Mandrel Didone brings tall x-heights, sharp serifs and nine weights with italics, for headlines that intend to be noticed without raising their voice.

Royal prefix first, in larger capitals. The ship's actual name waits politely on the far side of the funnel. Z.M. Ramtorenschip Schorpioen, a builder's half-model at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

Spotted in the wild close to home: Aviano Sans at the Offices at Warehouse Row, a Chattanooga institution since 1904, sounding like old brick and new offices at once. https://t.co/qbInP33jgI

[insigne Design @insigneDesign]

Plenty of designers have tried to find room in the crowded neutral sans market. Grayfel survived drastic revisions and came out with humanist proportions, friendly kerning and three widths of seven weights each.

Four more fonts on the drafting table, one gets finished next. Ravoxen, Solemar, Hanmiro or Viatolen: reply with your pick.

Where Bencanto belongs.

A bath house, a fragrance, a hotel above the sea, a magazine cover.

Coffee, sugar and tea, spelled out in white capitals with no curves allowed, not even on the S. Green enamel canisters in a houseboat kitchen in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Weight. Width. Italic. All in one font.

Spotted in the wild on the interstate: Senlot on an Atlas Van Lines trailer. The real test of a sans is reading it through a windshield. Passed. https://t.co/rrM8Nqq09x

Three widths, one voice.

Bencanto in Condensed, Normal and Extended, each in eight weights with true italics.

Classical capitals, stretched wide and fitted with serifs sharp enough to sign treaties. Aviano Light is the alternative to Trajan for anyone who has seen enough film posters, with forty ligatures and old style figures in tow.
