FS Sally is a graceful typeface. A refreshingly simple design that offers a crafted elegant finish to display and text typographies. Modern in its transitional style but with

a hint of the classic. Sally enables its forms

to sit with a distinctive aplomb in both

small and large amounts of text.

FS Ostro is a cosmopolitan typeface.

Named after a southerly wind that blows over the Mediterranean Sea, FS Ostro breathes warmth into letterforms with their roots in colder, stark Modern typefaces. FS Ostro draws inspiration from a wide range of sources such as the 19th century British Scotch Roman designs, Italian modern style typefaces and highly contrasted display Spanish examples. Its text version offers a consistent rhythm and robust texture that is easy on the eye. This elegant, cosmopolitan typeface is characterised by its thoughtfully modulated contrasts between thick and thin strokes, sharp angles, and sophisticated curves.

The letterforms are confident and fluid, creating an overall sense of refinement and modernity. One for the discerning, well-travelled reader.

FS Jack is a confident typeface. Cool sans serif, good looking and enthusiastic, honest, clear and to the point. Has Small Caps, Oldstyle & Lining Figures, Superiors, Fractions, Alternative characters.

FS Industrie is a systematic typeface.

An extraordinarily versatile new type system, with 70 variants built around five different widths and seven different weights.

Stylistically, FS Industrie feels direct and simple without sacrificing its humanity. It takes inspiration from German fonts of the 1930s, with their roots in manufacturing and signage. Each width and weight is drawn with subtle variations as you progress throughout the system, ensuring that each variant plays to its unique strengths. FS Industrie is a response to the changing nature of type, for brands responding to the changing nature of work.

FS Rome is a beautiful classic Roman caps font, based on Trajans column lettering

FS Split is a contrasting typeface.

An in-vogue but unpolished, distinctive and

eclectic design. The fresh, modern sans and

serif type families can bring so much variety

to everything from magazines and packaging,

to websites and branding. The conflicting

yet harmonising nature of sans and serif give

designers the tools they need to be both bold

and subtle, eclectic and ordinary, contemporary

and classic.

FS Olivia is a poetic typeface. A surprising and cheery face that captures the twist and turns of pen and ink on paper. Finely balancing typographic conventions with unexpected irregularities, Olivia's design delivers texture rich text with plenty of personality.

FS Shepton is a natural typeface.

100% hand-drawn and purposely imperfect, with the kind of inconsistent, organic shapes and textures of signs used in a delicatessen or greengrocers. A series of display fonts for packagaing, advertising and point-of-sale.

FS Shepton offers up three alphabets that are similar in character but each with their own texture and style.

FS Dillon is a rational typeface. Its inspiration came from our exploration of the work and philosophy of the Bauhaus movement of the 1920s and 30s, their pursuit of simple, practical forms. To this we’ve added a thoroughly modern flavour, stark yet warm, imbued with the quirky individuality that has become a Fontsmith signature. The letterforms are simple and direct. Compact, with a large x height, they are built for maximum clarity, economy of space, and impact. But that’s not all. The Bauhaus sought beauty through function – we think we’ve achieved that too.

Albert’s a charismatic typeface. A warm, sensitive face with a big personality. He’s a friendly sans serif font; shapely, flexible and modern. Available in a wide range of weights, Albert’s a versatile face ideal for use in most applications.

FS Albert Pro has multilingual features, including Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Small Caps, Oldstyle & Lining Figures, Superiors, Fractions, Alternative characters.

FS Brabo is an eloquent typeface.

Not a revival, but very much a contemporary & sturdier interpretation of a garalde – a class of typeface originating in the 16th century with characteristically rounded serifs and moderate contrast in between strokes. FS Brabo is a modern take on a workhorse serif typeface: colorful and versatile enough to adorn not just editorial projects but also signage, advertising, logotypes and other uses.
