Forrest

Typographers and clients alike are often obsessed with novelty. Be it self-consciously peculiar details with made-you-look appeal or just austere, detached minimalism, the constant search for novelty in typography often becomes an end in itself. A lot of times, an old trick is better than a bagful of new ones. All you might actually need is a good, reliable font family with soul, providing that comforting, familiar feel. This is where Forrest comes in: a type family born out of a lifelong passion for digging into old archives of fonts in search of that good ol' type: simple, honest, and made with love.

But make no mistake, Forrest is as savvy as fonts come, packed with smart features. Handsome swashes, cute small capitals, and old-style figures all add a bit of flair and enable a highly sophisticated and contemporary approach to typography.
