Alvar is a Modernist typeface. A utilitarian headline font inspired by the work of Alvar Aalto. FS Alvar is ideal for display headlines, advertising, and everything that's cool.

FS Silas is an enigmatic typeface.

First impressions are of a functional, multi-purpose typeface with a cool, edgy, angular character. Gaze into its eyes a little longer, though, and you’ll detect a more nuanced, colourful personality, with full, open, satisfyingly squarish forms balancing the abruptness of the sharply-angled terminals and ascenders. Authoritative, official and stern on the outside; amiable and welcoming on the inside.

FS Conrad, is a conceptual typeface. Formed from the theoretical ideas of the work of artist Conrad Shawcross for his Chord exhibition. FS Conrad, an intricate display typeface composed of fine parallel lines that overlap to create a multilayered texture within words.

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.
