Red alert!

We partnered with Type Network to design the new logo for Rolling Stone magazine! (Yeah, we can’t believe it either.) Check out our full case study for the new logo system, which was unveiled today.

Fonts in progress

Unfinished fonts are no longer a secret—now you can license some of our typefaces while they’re still in development.

Typeface design can be a Sisyphean task, which leaves us with more than a few fonts that are not-quite-finished. We would love to get them into your hands, so now you can license these immediately, then get free updates as we continue working on them.

In progress: Polymode

Our most experimental variable font is now available (and almost finished). Polymode is a typeface that expresses a point of view while remaining neutral and balancing functionality with personality.

In progress: Elevator

This one has been “coming up” for a while now, and it’s almost here. Elevator takes inspiration from prefabricated letterforms of the 1950s.

In progress: Escalator

Licensing this one now, and come along for the ride. Escalator grew from a client commission to replicate existing signage for the renovation of a landmark New York City skyscraper.

Let’s connect on the social media

Our first Instagram Live hangout was fun, and we have another one planned on Monday the 22nd at 2pm ET to talk about in progress fonts. Please check out the new xyztype.com if you haven’t already.
