Connary Fagan is a typographer whose work remains consistently among the top performers on YouWorkForThem. With a background in graphic design, art direction, illustration, branding, and identity, it’s little wonder why Connary’s type designs manage to hit every single note when it comes to providing what other graphic designers need in their work. He knows exactly what they’re looking for during the font selection process, and he has a solid understanding of good design and the importance of a font’s structure in terms of conveying a message with accuracy, impact, and emotion.
Consistency, quality, and versatility are hallmarks of his type designs, and Connary Fagan is one of those guys whose work just keeps getting better and better with every new release. Its a craft he takes seriously; every font he creates is put through an extensive amount of testing to ensure its performance in real world applications. And in spite of a font’s release, he’s so dedicated to his work that he periodically revisits his past releases to see what he can improve, providing new features and free updates to his existing products.
One of his more recent releases is Gryffith CF, a display type design that blends rather unexpected elements of the past and present. Gryffith CF is what would happen if a classic blackletter jumped into a time machine, made a pit stop in the 1920s, and got stranded another hundred years into the future; forced to suddenly adapt to its alien surroundings, it changes its clothing style to blend in with the modern fashion.
The melding of influences that include medieval calligraphy, art deco, and high technology make Gryffith CF a rather unprecedented design. It presents with a fresh, elegant architecture that is equal parts strange and beautiful. As a display typeface, it’s a bewitching choice for logos, displays, signage, headlines, posters, and artwork.
Gryffith CF offers seven weights that include Light, Regular, Medium, Demi Bold, Bold, Extra Bold, and Black, with corresponding italics for each. It offers discretionary and standard ligatures through OpenType, and it extends multilingual support to Basic Latin, Western European, Euro, Catalan, Baltic, Turkish, Central European, Romanian, Pan African Latin, Dutch, and Basic Greek for global design accessibility.
As with all of Connary’s other work, Gryffith CF also offers free updates and feature additions as they are released in the future.
Connary Fagan currently offers 19 products through YouWorkForThem, a variety of sans serifs, slab serifs, serifs, and calligraphic serifs to suit a wide variety of design projects.
