Loud
Auch in den nächsten Nächten kam Manor wieder. Umarmte den Knaben bisweilen im Schlaf. Denn hin und wieder überkam ihn Schlaf, bis Manor kam. Erwachte dann in seiner Umarmung. Jedesmal suchten die Lippen die weiche Erhöhung über dem Herzen. War es Tag geworden, so sah Har dann und wann, wie aus der linken Brustwarze ihm noch ein schwaches Tröpflein Blut hervorperlte. Wischte es mit dem Hemde weg. War auch wohl schon von selbst ein Tröpflein ins Hemd gelaufen. Nur in der Vollmondnacht kam er nicht.

About Loud

Loud was commissioned for use by a professional sports team in the midst of a major rebrand. As their identity evolved, the team’s social media and promotional departments used Loud Extra Bold for headlines that needed to appear strong and solid. After adding a companion set of figures, Loud was adapted for the team’s uniform numbers, as well. (Released 2021.)

Questions Answered
Men who do things, those who occupy the public eye because of their accomplishments in political or professional ways, are capable men who have cultivated their physical powers as well as their mental. I know that there are exceptions which can be cited by the argumentative person who sees no good in going through a lot of “silly antics,” but these exceptions can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

About Ogrady Mono

Ogrady Mono is a custom monospace family commissioned by Polari Press—an independent publishing house which seeks out hidden voices and helps them be heard—who were launching a new line of plays. To create Ogrady Mono, I took the kind of workaday typewriter style one might find in a script, and gave it a little more of a signature flair—a bit of mince in its walk, if you will. The family is named to honor Paul O’Grady, the British performer widely known by his stage persona, Lily Savage. (Released August 2023.)

Harte Geschichten
“Member of Congress!” cried Mr. Blessing, rising, with flushed face and flashing eyes. “You are right! I have allowed the necessity of the moment to pull me down from my proper destiny! You are doubly right! My creature comforts once secured, I can give my time, my abilities, my power of swaying the minds of men — come, let us withdraw, realize, consolidate, invest, at once!”

About R41 Olympia

Olympia started life as a little-known geometric sans typeface, designed by Aldo Novarese exclusively for R41, with a single extra-light weight of dry transfer type, featuring only numerals and Greek letters. Now, R41 Olympia has been expanded by Bijou Type into a full, contemporary multilingual family of 14 styles. In Novarese’s original words: Olympia has “very clear linear style with a simplified round shape in an elegant structure. It adapts to high-impact applications where maximum legibility is required—in alphabetical purity.” (Released March 2024.)

juvenile delinquency
“Daddy” Wentworth, the oldest contortionist in the world, is now living at Bedford, Massachusetts, aged 77 years. He has outlived two physicians, each of whom paid him $100 for the privilege of dissecting his body after death. These strange contracts were made with the idea that “Daddy” Wentworth’s dangerous life would bring him to an untimely end. He has had the best of the bargain, though, and is looking around for another doctor who wants to take chances on buying his body.

About R41 Stop

“The most discussed and imitated font in the international graphic field,” according to its original designer, Aldo Novarese. For this new digital version of Stop for Italian type foundry R41, it was important to draw inspiration from the dry transfer type they originally manufactured. R41 Stop is based on the decades-old films prepared for the dry transfer Stop, but given many more glyphs that extend the concept, including a wide variety of accented characters, symbols, and letters for the Cyrillic and Greek alphabets. R41 Stop is also filled with OpenType-enabled alternates for many of its letters, based on adaptations made over the years by designers and signmakers worldwide. (Released January 2023.)

The most elaborate gag in the West
Monotype Modern Display™
The boys and servants in the neighbourhood had given him the nick-name of good-natured Dick, from the soft simpleton’s doing every thing he was bid at the first word, and from his naturally having no turn to mischief; then, by the way, he was perfectly well made, stout, clean-limbed, tall of his age, as strong as a horse, and, withal, pretty featured; so that he was not, absolutely, such a figure to be snuffled at neither, if your nicety could, in favour of such essentials, have dispensed with a face unwashed, hair tangled for want of combing, and so ragged a plight, that he might have disputed points of shew with any heathen philosopher of them all.

About Monotype Modern Display™

Monotype Modern Display is based on Series No. 1 Modern, the very first typeface produced by British Monotype, back in 1900 (itself adapted from Miller & Richard nos. 23 and 28). This contemporary reworking is a companion display weight for Monotype Modern MT®. Originally designed for Centrefold magazine. (Released 2013.)
