  1. Behind the Tangent Superfamily: A Roadmap Full of Detours
    Sep 15, 2026 · original
    How we collaborated on an on-going generative type system. Deb: So, we want to write this article for Alphabettes, right? Saachi: Yeah, to talk about our process. How we actually built Tangent. Deb: How did we even start? It feels like we got to it so fast. Like one day we had nothing, and the next we had… a superfamily? Saachi: Okay, let’s back up. All the way to the beginning. Pit Stop 1: (Crossed) Pathways It began in Kelsey Elder’s class called Variable ; with the assignment Kit-Car. The brief was simple: In the spirit of Sister Corita Kent, observe the world around you, and find a source. Look to find form in things that are, too, made up of shapes or parts. Consider toys, patterns on family heirlooms, fundamental shapes of objects, optical illusions, and so on. Create components from this source of inspiration and use them to make a set of static glyphs. Corita Kent’s line: “learn

  11. Alphabettes Soup is Served!
    May 12, 2026 · original
    Grab a spoon and get ready for some big SOUP updates! On April 1, Alphabettes Soup: Feminist Approaches to Type was printed and bound at Gráfica Maiaduoro in Portugal. I was so fortunate to travel to sunny Porto with my daughter and hold the very first finished copy: a 2.4-pound, 400-page beauty! We held a soft launch on Thursday, April 2 at the Bikini Books HQ. Over forty people came, books were sold and signed, and it was an absolute thrill to share it with the world for the first time. The book will officially launch at the Typographics Festival in New York City, June 26–27, where I am so honored to be speaking. In the meantime, you can purchase the book via the very awesome Draw Down Books . There will also be several events in various cities where you can snag a copy in person, maybe one near you?

  15. Devanagari Typography 101: A guide for typesetting with Latin
    Mar 31, 2026 · original
    Evolved from the Brahmi script, Devanagari is used to write Marathi, Hindi, Sanskrit, and Nepali, and remains an important Indic script used in South Asia and beyond. Its technological advances have been slow, and design advances are just starting to pick up. South Asia, and specifically India, has a multilingual cultural landscape, and it is not uncommon for street signs, periodicals, newspapers, and other printed ephemera to typically use two to three languages—English and a regional language or two, or two to three regional languages together. While Indian street signs have long featured beautifully painted, built, or set Devanagari signs, often integrating Latin numbers or words seamlessly, translating this to digital typesetting has not been an equally easy task, owing to the differences in setting the two scripts, the difference in anatomy and reading of the scripts, and the limite

  17. Process behind Dukat: shaping letters and ideas side by side
    Mar 14, 2026 · original
    First ideas for the project emerged in the autumn of 2024. At the time, I was doing an internship at a French type design studio. Surrounded by the rich beauty of Paris and looking at typefaces every day, I felt an increasing urge to start working on a new typeface. Typeface brief can take shape through different processes. In my case, I knew from the beginning that I wanted to work on something experimental, a project that would create a dialogue between historical letterforms and contemporary approaches. More specifically, I wanted to explore Vyaz, an ornamental writing style derived from Byzantine culture that played a significant role in the history of Ukrainian writing. In terms of character, I was drawn to something sharp, carved, chiseled. I began exploring the idea further, and by the time I was about to leave France I had already digitized a first set of letters. Gathering all m
  18. 24-Hour Hang *In*: March 8, 2026
    Mar 7, 2026 · original
    Since 2019, Alphabettes has spent nearly every International Women’s Day doing what it does best: hastily dis-organizing a 24-hour online hangout across timezones and continents with a loose schedule that anyone on the internet was welcome to join. We’d take a virtual type walk around Mumbai with Tanya. We’d join Romina and friends in Mexico City for an 8M March with handlettered signs from her community poster-making workshops. We’d hear cool conference stories from Theresa in San Francisco. We’d chit chat in Spanish for an hour with Laura and Dafne and Caro. We’d say hi to pets and babies and make breakfast, lunch, and dinner together, all at once. In 2026? Instead of hanging out , some of us decided we’re hanging in . Or maybe, hanging on . We’re still here, but for now, it’s ok to hang up the internet for the day or hang out in other ways. This International Women’s Day, I’ll be help

  20. Tiny Grotesk: bridging 500 years of type design
    Feb 16, 2026 · original
    Tiny Grotesk is a tiny superfamily. In a market where sans-serif families quickly grow to contain dozens of styles, sometimes over a hundred, Tiny Grotesk is an antidote, a proposal to do more with less. It covers as much ground as possible, across only twenty-four carefully selected styles. Tiny Grotesk is in its regular width a clean, friendly neogrotesk with relaxed capitals and a round, even-keeled lowercase. The two accompanying widths, Narrow and Wide, expand it into a complex typographic toolkit. The Narrow styles, space-saving and optimised for small use, are ideal for footnotes, asides and UI elements. The Wide styles, imposing and optimised for large use, demand space, and will take that space no matter what. This pairing makes the family versatile and broadly usable while remaining as compact as possible. Tiny Grotesk has been in development since 2019, slowly but steadily exp
