A place where experimental designs exist free from the scrutiny of commercial potential learn more
Twelve Ohno fonts for the price of one! This experimental collector’s item uses the magic of OpenType’s “Contextual Alternates” feature to create a bizarre and chaotic mix of styles for maximum impact and minimum effort. Included fonts are Beastly, Eckmannpsych, Cheee, Ohno Softie, Ohno Blazeface, and Ohno Fatface. In the Italic we have Obviously, Swear, Ohno Blazeface, Nonplus, Ohno Casual, and Retail.
A super light, ultra high-contrast, backslanted script. Featuring expressive capitals, and a few alternates for &, N, a, f, and c. Contextual ending form for b, o, s, v, w.
An American-style, fake blacketter. Olde is inspired by my childhood visits to Californian Hotel/ Restaurants like Pea Soup Andersen’s and Madonna Inn. There are alternate caps for A, B, C, D, E, F, H, I, L, M, N, P, R, T, U, V, W, and Y that are designed to sit in the middle of all-caps words. That’s right. ALL CAPS BLACKLETTER. There are also a few versions of lowercase f designed to fit in certain contexts like after a lowercase r, or before an ï.
A gantry is an overhead carriage that serves as a movable platform for industrial equipment. On a CNC router, the gantry is the part that has the router mounted to it. Routers can’t drill square holes, so CNC machinists use a design technique called “dog bones” to make pieces fit together. Those weird sorts of negative shapes inspired Gantry. Similar to the gantry—a part of a CNC router but not specific to it—Gantry is influenced by CNC machining, but intended for use in other areas as well. Gantry is five styles, and you can email us (info@ohnotype.co) for the variable font.
Flat terminals, round corners, tight spacing, dense texture, and unapologetically short descenders.
Comprised of straight lines only, inspired by tape, and moving a broad nib in straight lines. There are a few alternates for E, N, and M, and a set of figures that will leave you absolutely shook. Yes, Mike Giant is a contemporary influence.
