East is a sans serif condensed font. It has six weights between Light and Extra Bold. A variable font is also available.

Clarity and versatility make East a good choice for app design, branding, film titles, information, packages, posters, and publications. It is simple, friendly, and confident.

Its condensed design makes it easy to fit text in tight spaces. The light weight has excellent clarity for easy reading, even at small sizes. The Extra Bold weight will capture attention as a headline or large body text.

The name «East» is intended to evoke optimism, movement, travel, and the sunrise. It is timeless and current with a subtle nostalgia—inspired by the charming one-off sans serifs on early Jazz albums, film titles, newspapers, and road signage.

East has many OpenType features (please see slides). It offers eight stylistic sets. These can quickly alter large amounts of text. It has a set for a one-story “a” for simpler paragraph textures, and a set for hooked letters (f, j, l, r, t, y) for a warmer and playful personality. A seriffed uppercase I and 1 along with a slashed zero offer better legibility when needed. There are also sets for a curly German eszett, cap-aligned punctuation for Spanish, and a raised colon. Other OpenType alternates include; three different uppercase German eszetts, a tapered exclamation point, an alternate 4, standard ligatures, discretionary ligatures, a tapered asterisk, and a set of bullets (round, square, and diamond).

It also contains vertically stacked pre-built fractions. Diagonally built alternatives are offered for the common fractions (one quarter, one half, and three quarters, percent, per thousand).

It will support western and central European languages as well as other Latin-based written languages (check for your language). There are some Greek math-related glyphs and math symbols beyond the common ones.

Read on if you are not familiar with variable fonts.

What makes a variable font special is that all font weights are inside of one file and you can incrementally control the width and italic slant between Light (300) and ExtraBold (800). These changes are commonly made with slide controls in the font/type palette of the software. Variable fonts are also smaller in file size, benefitting both web and software performance.

Currently variable fonts are supported by Adobe, Sketch, Corel Draw, and most web browsers. Check for your software support here: www.v-fonts.com/support.

Stange is a font with a futuristic edge, geometric corners, perfect for technology theme. As with its Stange, Stange makes a strong impression in print, headlines, video, and social media – whether paired with a contrasting typeface or on its own.

The original design came from Berthold Herold typeface, designed by Hermann Hoffmann during 1913 (Art Nouveau style) in Germany. This project started from flyer printed during 1947 with movable type, the specimen was scanned as a source to development some of the uppercase letterforms. However the most unusual and tricky element from this sample is the leg from the uppercase (R) which is different from the original Herold design, until now I didn’t found where this version originally came from. This font family only contain the bold weight, but there are also a stencil and expanded versions available.

Xova Rounded is a geometric rounded typeface. The use of perfect round shapes and quite a low ascender height makes it a very stable, yet playful looking typeface.
