(2/2) There’s a quiet sense of pride, especially when it’s tied to a public or institutional message. So yes, it’s still exciting every single time !

(1/2) Thanks! It’s always a bit of a magical moment for me. Even after all these years, seeing one of my typefaces pop up in everyday life, especially in a major campaign like this one, still stirs something in me.

Great Canadian hardcore this morning with Propagandhi on Spotify. And a nice .notdef on Android Auto... Attention to detail, I guess. How does this still happen in 2025?! 🀯

As a type designer, I’m shocked!

She’s now rocking two axes β€” Weight and Width β€” for maximum flexibility and smooth typographic moves.
No more picking between dozens of styles β€” now you can fine-tune everything on the fly.

It’s back. Softer. Wider. Bolder.
A new take on a classic, designed for today.

πŸ”½ πŸ’œ I have affectionately named this version "The Velvet Edition", a color that evokes the new imagery and the soft, warm atmosphere of the typeface in the specimen book. (Though certain tracks from The Velvet Underground are not strangers to this feeling either.)🎢
