Narziss

Hubert Jocham Design - 3 June, 2009 - 11:56pm
Since Mommie I gradually got more into swirly ornaments. The massive contrast in the neoclassic style is perfect for thin swirly extentions to the characters. Even in an upright typeface. Narziss is very elegant in big headlinesizes. Use it only very big.

The basic style Narziss-Regular is a neoclassic display font with big contrast.
The Narziss-Drops has got some unique characters with drops that are not usually there.
The spencerian swashes of Narziss-Swirls  grow out of the existing strokes an overlap with the next characters.

Every connection of letter look perfect without any alternate glyphs. The weights from light till heavy serve in text and display.

NewJuneSerif

NewJuneSerif now available as a family

The basic serif version of NewJune existed even before the sans, but only in Regular and Italic.
Now I am finally very proud to present the Serif as a complete family with 7 weights.

Considering the even line thickness of JuneSans it looks quite neoclassic. Yet some horizontal strokes in the a and the e are bold to still have some rhythm in the contrast of veticals and horizontals. That might be one reason that NewJuneSerif is very legibile even in small sizes.

Perfetto

If you ask a typographer about Old Style he will tell you something about Aldus Manutius and Claude Garamond and maybe something about humanistic handwriting and the italic. But you would not consider the following serif as classic oldstyle.
It is based on a typeface Giovanni Francesco Cresci wrote with a pen with an x-height of 8 mm. It was published in his book »Il perfetto Scrittore« in 1570. You can also see it in Tschicholds »Meisterbuch der Schrift«.
The upper case letters are almost like the Capitalis Monumentalis. The lower case seem almost neoclassic and are very elegant. I only took the lowercase as a basis for Perfetto and wanted to keep the elegance and make a modern useful Serif. I started with the display version with thin hairlines and created the text version later. The display version has 9 weights with italics up to extrabold and ultrabold. The text version has only 7 weights, because extrabold and ultrabold make no sence in text.

The upcoming Pro version will have small caps, different sets of figures, some ligatures, Latin 2, turkish and baltic letters.

New typeface NewLibrisSerif, Discount #14

Hubert Jocham Design - 3 June, 2009 - 11:56pm
The Libris family I started to design quite some time ago, when I was working with Boris Bencic on the first issue of Frank magazine back in 1997.

Later in 1999 Libris was used in Frank magazine as well as for Bally Switzerland as a corporate typeface. In addition Bally wanted a exclusive Serif for Libris in regular and italic. Now, long after this exclusive contract has ended I finally designed the family of 7 weights with italics. NewLibrisSerif is a perfect companion for NewLibris Sans.

In copy you should not get heavier than Heavy. Extrabold and Ultrabold work best in display.
