News from 2022

Designed by Paul Barnes for the cycling-clothing brand Rapha, Frame comes in four weights with separate versions for text and headlines. It is also available as a variable font, with axes for weight and optical size. The family has a large x-height, reduced extenders, simple serifs with minimal tapering, and an overall crispness most evident in the ball terminals. 

To celebrate and promote the release of Frame our friends at Rapha travelled to two of the most iconic Spring Classics cycling races, the  Tour of Flanders (Ronde van Vlaanderen) and Paris-Roubaix. With a series of bold and eyecatching placards held aloft by the roadside they update the long and rich tradition of guerilla advertising.

Dark, dense, lovely Feature debuted in February 2018 in T: The New York Times Style Magazine. Originally designed by Christian Schwartz and Berton Hasebe in three optical sizes and two widths, the efficient serif family has been expanded for this release by Hrvoje Živčić, who completed the character sets, added an Ultra weight to the Display version, and drew italics for the whole collection.

Kara Gordon was elected to The Advisory Board of the Type Directors Club for a two-year term.
