Geologica is grounded in the humanist genre, but leans assertively into geometric, constructed letterforms to find its stability. The wide stance, generous spacing, large apertures and even colour makes Geologica a serious text typeface. The stylistic “Sharpness” axis adds a rational interpretation of calligraphic pen strokes – a modernist echo of the roots of writing.

The default style of the Geologica typeface is a sober humanist sans serif with a rational finish. The terminals are perpendicular to the direction of the pen stroke, emphasising the monolinearity of the letterforms. The alternate “Sharp” styles introduces details derived from writing with a broad-nib pen. Sharp points arise where the imagined pen is set to paper. These details are echoed in the Carthesian terminal treatment, causing curved shapes to form sharp inner points as they terminate.

Geologica uses the power of the OpenType Variable Font format to simultaneously morph between Light and Black weights, Upright and Oblique, and stylistic variants. This gives an incredibly rich typographic palette, making Geologica a typeface of great versatility.

The official typeface of Finland designed by Helsinki Type Studio. In the spirit of the Finnish “Jokamiehenoikeus” this typeface is Open Source. The strong and compressed shapes embody a traditional virtue in Finnish culture: honest and resilient determination – “Sisu”.
Ink traps like cuts from a blunt ax, makes the typeface reliable in small sizes and gives it character in large headlines. Like the Finnhorse it’s a breed suitable both as riding horse and workhorse. The typeface is part of a toolbox of assets for the promotion of Finland and commissioned by the Prime minister’s office and Business Finland.

Kurinto is a large collection of free fonts that include most of the characters in every human language. Academic publishing is an ideal use, especially if you use Microsoft Word to publish PDF documents or include text in non-European languages.

Kurinto fonts address many publishing pitfalls: costly fonts with publishing restrictions, irregular line heights, random font changes, enormous PDF file sizes, missing characters, spurious layout changes, and font format incompatibility. These roadblocks prevent many authors from creating presentable (or even usable) PDF files.

Kurinto helps authors publish their work without studying font technology or using advanced typographic techniques.

Newt Serif is a soft, friendly serif font that has been described as appearing to have been “drawn by the light of mystic moons.” It did take many moons to finish (being my first finished font), so maybe some of them were mystic.

Newt Serif has a strong calligraphic bent and a healthy dose of whimsy. The italics are of a freer spirit than the romans, and include a few intriguingly shaped letters (for example: E, g, s, and y). While the font is light-hearted, it’s still a fairly “typographically-minded” serif, comfortable enough for longer passages of text.

Solveig is a stressed sans that draws inspiration from calligraphy and classic inscriptions. Its ascenders and descenders are long and expressive; in place of finials, its terminals taper to points. It is well suited for display, but remains very readable at smaller sizes in longer passages.

Solveig is named after Edvard Grieg’s “Solveig’s Song,” a quiet piece of concentrated, chilled emotion that accompanied me through the entire design process.

Walleye is an original serif font suitable for setting longer texts. Its long, banner-shaped finials and its airy letterforms give it character and an open texture on the page. Walleye has four styles: regular, italic, bold, and bold italic.

It includes the Latin, (Polytonic) Greek, and Cyrillic alphabets, and has meticulous coverage of the character sets of a broad variety of languages, including almost all spoken in Europe. It also has many OpenType features, including small caps for all supported languages, old-style figures, and highly developed typesetting options for Ancient Greek.
