Designed by .carratala and Genevieve Cugnart, and published by , Chiswell is a contemporary reinterpretation of H. W. Caslon & Co.’s Dutch Old Face, a charmingly inky Garalde typeface with long ascenders and short descenders that dates back to at least 1915. This font retains the warmth and personality of its original source while enhancing its versatility with a broader range of weights and styles. Its variable x-height offers exceptional flexibility: opt for a short x-height to evoke a vintage feel, a medium x-height for body text, or a tall x-height for striking titles and headlines. Much like an eccentric grandfather’s favourite jumper, Chiswell exudes warmth and a pleasing texture. It is perfect for texts that require a touch of nostalgia without any stuffiness. Chiswell’s adaptability and classical proportions make it ideal for editorial design and longer text settings. Its distinctive personality also lends itself well to branding and display applications, making it a versatile choice for various creative projects.

It has been a week since the long Christmas break hibernation. Before the new year turns its first pages, it’s a good time to reflect on what 2025 was like. It was a year filled with Type design, branding, packaging, lettering, awards and features. While it was tough, but also rewarding and enriching. Thank you so much to both new and regular clients for their trust and support, as well as the suppliers and other collaborators who made many of these projects possible. Hopefully, 2026 will be another challenging but exciting year.

I’m thrilled to announce the release of the 29LT Azahar Specimen today. Designed by Undo & Redo and printed by Pressision, this A5 booklet showcases all Azahar styles in both, Latin and Cyrillic across diverse layouts. Inspired by the font’s name, it features botanical watercolour illustrations from some of the most renowned Victorian artists over a fine selection of GF Smith papers. Visual transparencies, graphic overlaps and variation in the size format bring this specimen to life, and in turn emphasise Azahar’s adaptability to different graphic environments..

It’s nice everynow and then to have a break from the digital world and get your hands stained with colours, and feel the texture of papers, brushes and pencils. Yes! I also do Illustration when the occasion requieres it, and this week was such the occasion. I’m working at the moment on a range of oil packagings and these are the watercolour images that will illustrate the labels. I like them so far, although some of them are still work in progress.

29LT Azahar is a published last summer.

The text style is a reader-friendly reinterpretation of medium-contrast transitional letterforms, as opposed to the tension of the high-contrast Didone style of its display counterpart. Likewise, the sharp and flared serifs of the latter add a modern twist that makes it optimal for daring headlines. Graceful and fragile in its lightest form and brave and appealing in the darkest one.

A of Display and Text styles, each in 5 weights in Upright and Italic, adding up to 20 .

in 2 axes: Weight + Optical Size.
