3 hidden font gems from Production Type

With so many typefaces to choose from, it can be easy to get lost in all the options.

Where are the hidden gems? Here are a few of our favorites from the Production Type collection that might be flying under your radar.

ARC: Search No Further
Font: Arc Bold
On those delightful occasions when you find yourself reaching for a stencil font, the options are often generic, expected, or uninspiring. Cast your sights on Arc, an all–caps display stencil font designed with efficiency and style in mind. Arc constructs its stencil forms with clarity and sobriety while packing a sturdy punch with stout proportions and tight spacing. Add in rounded strokes and an elegant attitude, the search for a new and refreshing stencil is over.

Granville: Standing Center Stage
Font: Granville Light
Described as a reinterpretation of the traditional thick-thin style, Granville is a contrasted sans built with a rational construction like the early French Moderns. This typeface has enough charm and personality to play the leading role in any number of design-minded productions. Granville’s tapered terminals, kicking stroke ends, and squared off diagonals deliver just the right touch of unexpectedness and sparkle—best exemplified in Granville’s regular weight, with elegant contrast and style on show.

The Dr Is In!
Font: Dr ExtraBold

Designers are clamoring for alternative medicines to the sterile forms and traditional clean sans fonts that have become so widespread. For this, Dr, a geometric sans serif family with considered details and surgical precision, is just what the doctor ordered. Particularly in the bolder weights, Dr brings that extra little bit of surprise and eye-catching originality with open counters, angled elbows, corrected curves, and straight arms — the perfect choice for that design project in need of a little facelift.
