50% Off Grey Sans by Greyscale Type until July 3rd.

A geometric sans that eschews any shred of humanist influence in favor of a colder, angular/technical vibe… Which may be great depending on what you’re looking for.

Humanist-infused/influenced geometrics have been the flavour of the web for some time now, (I’m looking at you Proxima Nova) so its refreshing to see a hardcore geometric that doesn’t simply ape mid-century specimens, or adhere to strictly circular/square forms.

Curves converge abruptly,  occasionally straighten-out prior to terminating. Typically humanist characters like double-story “a” and “g” are nowhere to be found… All of these details make for a particularly clinical affair, though other details like gaping apertures, outward-facing terminals and generous counters keep it from feeling TOO robotic all the same.

Just north of $60 for 8 weights, no italics…

90% Off Tabia for a limited time over at YouWorkForThem.

A condensed geo-sans with rigid, rectangular proportions and a technical feel.

Tabia is quite the beast at heavier weights, but the wide range of weights included allow you to taper off the heavy all the way down to “barely-there” skinny if you need to… Pretty versatile as these things go.

In any case, this one is probably best reserved for short bursts, or as a monster headliner.

Freebie Alert!

The Red Benny family (Updated to include 6 weights) by Kyle Wayne Benson is FREE over at Creative Market this week.

A bit of an odd-ball display script with a rigid, industrial vibe, Red Benny is hardly something you’ll be busting out all over the place. Some might call it amateur, or hobbyist type (it is a little rough around the edges technically speaking) but that’s significantly less relevant for niche display type like this… It lends a certain charm.

Anyways, check it out, as well as Kyle’s other offerings  while you’re at it!

50% Off Canapé by FDI until June 22.

A softened, approachable take on the geometric slab, Canapé maintains the rigid/even structure, and bold appearance typically associated with slab-serif type but adds a friendly twist.

Only two weights (but excellent true italics for each) which is a little disappointing given how unique and well crafted these are… Would love to see this expanded in the near future.

50% Off Fair Sans text by Galen Lawson until June 7th.

A companion to the recently released display family Fair Sans, this text friendly version features less exaggerated calligraphic detail, a taller x-height and a more even rhythm.

That said, it still brings a healthy dose of that higher - contrast, casual character with it. Which is probably what made you love (or hate) the original in the first place.

50% Off Silverscreen by TypeArt.

A minimal super-condensed display sans designed for cases where you need to squeeze alot of type… into very little space. A straight-up reference to “That font used on the bottom of movie posters since the dawn of time.”

Two weights plus some italics you’ll likely never use, but the uprights are damn-near perfect… Even the lowercase letters maintain a great, easy-reading rhythm, which is usually where alot of these types of fonts break down in a major way.

Just north of $22 for 4 fonts… Break out that wallet, and put that League Gothic you’ve been beating to death away for good.

90% Off Nuber by The Northern Block until June 17th.

A low-contrast geometric sans, with a squarish & technical appearance, Nuber can easily be pegged as a dead-ringer for Aldo Novarese’s classic Eurostile.

That said, Nuber is a very well crafted family and brings with it a ton of contemporary features that the classics just don’t offer.

9 weights, carefully drawn italics + opentype alternates for additional character variation, just shy of $30 for the entire family for the next little while!

70% Off Tyfoon Sans (and script) by FontForecast. A low - contrast geometric sans with a slightly condensed appearance, Tyfoon would make an excellent stand - in for the likes of Myriad, and other “invisible” informative type, where maybe just a taste of distinction/differentiation may is desired. 6 weights + italics for just shy of $50. The script counterpart is available separately, and on sale at the moment as well. High-res

40% Off Riona Sans by Mika Melvas until June 9th.

Usually known for his contemporary script stylings, Riona Sans sees Mr. Melvas break from form producing this low contrast, structured sans with a technical feel.

8 weights + true italics provide plenty of flexibility and contrast, making Riona an excellent choice for a variety of screen-based applications. Not bad at all for a type designer pushing outside of their comfort zone!

80% Off Troia by Ahmut Alton until June 7th.

A geometric sans with a distinct, wide appearance. Though not a straight up clone, calling this a poor man’s Pluto wouldn’t be entirely out of line… It lacks in craftsmanship by comparison for sure, but that matters less when you consider the price… Not exactly comparing apples to apples here.

$12 gets you 4 weights + italics, and a rounded set. Which is not half bad at all.
