With classy eccentricity, Farthing evokes elegant traditional serif styles. Playful but poised.

Farthing is a serif face in five weights, with alternate characters and both lining and old style numerals.

Suitable for both headline and short paragraphs of text.

Fathom is a refined flared-serif face that is elegant and robust, modern yet suggests a legacy. The generous lower-case x-height make it worm and readable. Seven weights, plus matching italics, cover all headline and text requirements. The addition of old-style numerals and tabular numerals for charts make it a versatile family for brochures, corporations, heritage projects, packaging, book covers, reports, signage, magazines and more.

Grange Text is optimised for smaller text sizes, having more open character shapes and spacing. Use the non-text version of Grange for larger sizes and headlines, which has tighter spacing and detailing.

Grange is the Device interpretation of the classic “Grot” thick/thin sans style. Unlike the traditional models on which it is based, Grange takes a rational, consistent approach across wide range of weights and widths for contemporary use.

The font includes alternative curved and straighter versions of key characters, most obviously the lower-case ‘g’ and capital ‘R’, allowing the font to take on either a sharper or warmer, more playful appearance. These can be toggled on or off using the ‘Alts’ feature in Illustrator, or ‘Stylistc Sets’ in Indesign. Contains proportional, lining and tabular numerals.

Metaluna is an extended sans serif family of five weights derived from Rian Hughes’ classic Forbidden Planet logo. Sleek and modern, it suggests cutting-edge tech, supercar marques or high-precision engineering multinationals.

Based on the lettering used on Alan Turing’s famous code-breaking machine at Bletchley Park, the “Bombe”, and the subsequent British answer to the German Enigma machine, the Typex.

Research done at Bletchley Park on their restored and antique machines provided the inspiration. The unusual shapes for the capitals have all been retained - the square O, the monospaced characters and other eccentricities that make it unique. This reference material was then extended to the numerals (which did not exist in the original) and a full international character complement.

The initial design of the bombe was produced in 1939 at the UK Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park by Alan Turing, with an important refinement devised in 1940 by Gordon Welchman. It was based on a device that had been designed in 1938 in Poland at the Biuro Szyfrów (Cipher Bureau) by cryptologist Marian Rejewski, and known as the “cryptologic bomb” (Polish: bomba kryptologiczna).

The Bombe was used to break the German Enigma code on a daily basis, and was a vital part of the Allied war effort. The British “Typex” (alternatively, Type X or TypeX) machines were an adaptation of the commercial German Enigma with a number of enhancements that greatly increased its security. It was used from 1937 until the mid-1950s, when other more modern military encryption systems came into use.

A modular geometric font based on double diagonals and a rational set of repeated elements, Pact evokes futuristic branding, new technology with an almost tribal twist, or even an alien language. Best used in single words and short headlines.

Developed from Rian Hughes’ Black Panther logo for Marvel, Panther Black is a sharp and stylish three-weight headline sans.

Built from sweeping curves and tapered crossbars, its bold, dynamic design is seen to best effect in shorter settings.

Available in condensed, normal and extended variants.
