TypeUnion is a digital boutique type foundry based in London. Established by Daniel Jones back in 2013, TypeUnion specializes in branding and bespoke font designs for businesses and individuals. The foundry has also crafted a growing number of retail fonts, seeking to provide graphic designers with letter sets that are expertly crafted and highly adaptable to their unique needs.
TypeUnion absolutely loves the art of typography, surrounding its studio workspace with pieces that reflect the rich and varied history of typography in England, including posters, vintage typography examples, stickers, and anything else that might serve as inspiration. The studio is always hard at work crafting new type designs that will further expand their portfolio while also adhering to contemporary design aesthetics.
Knowing that modern graphic designers must design for multiple applications and outputs, TypeUnion does its level best to ensure that their letter sets will serve those designers well. They’re passionate about the work they do, paying close attention to every little detail to make sure that each and every product is the best it possibly can be before it’s released into the retail market.
One of their more recent releases is Project Sans, a contemporary geometric sans serif that carries a slight vintage poster feel, lending a sense of warmth and familiarity to its architecture. Designed by Daniel Jones, Project Sans is a clean and minimalistic design that’s highly legible without feeling stiff or cold. Its structure is friendly and approachable, conveying messages with strength, confidence, and kindness.
This contemporary classic was designed to be flexible, offering ten weights that include Thin, Ultra Light, Extra Light, Light, Regular, Medium, Semi Bold, Bold, Black, and Heavy, with corresponding italics for each weight. This range allows Project Sans to be used in a variety of design projects that include headlines, subheadings, editorials, body copy, publishing, advertising, logos, corporate communications, letterhead, white papers, presentations, product packaging and inserts, marketing materials, infographics, website designs, and mobile applications. It’s also a great choice for identity and branding projects that require design cohesion across multiple media types and outputs.
Project Sans extends multilingual support to Basic Latin, Western European, Euro, Catalan, Baltic, Turkish, Central European, Romanian, Pan African Latin, and Basic Cyrillic for design projects aimed at a global audience.
TypeUnion currently offers 20 products through YouWorkForThem, including a variety of sans serifs, serifs, and slab serifs for design projects of all kinds. Much of their work carries a more contemporary tone so if you’re looking for attractive fonts that will offer great legibility and design flexibility, this studio is a good place to start!
