“Building a palette is an intuitive process, but expanding a typographic duet to three, four, or even five voices can be daunting.

Priori Acute
“Priori Acute is the latest addition to the Priori family. It is the result of a series of experiments into three-dimensional letter form design inspired by 19th Century display and artistic printing types. However, instead of simply adding drop shadows or fake relief to create the illusion of depth, the designers at Jonathan Barnbrook’s studio took their cue from such diverse sources as the angles on the Stealth bomber and the visual conceit in the work of the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher.” Stunning stuff, and I’ve always had a bit of a thing for Stealth bombers and Escher.

New Rail Alphabet
It’s a “rival of the British Rail Alphabet designed by Margaret Calvert of Kinneir Clavert Associates in the early 1960s.” Looks like a great alternative to Helvetica and I love all the weights it comes in too.

An unnamed new typeface-in-progress from Aisle One. It’s awesome to see the initial stages as he works through the different letters. I’m liking the shape of it already.
