Dirk is a strong, heavy slab serif meant for large, attention grabbing display use. Dirks design lives somewhere between a Clarendon wood type style and a more modern geometric slab serif.

It features the bracketed serifs, large x-height, and short ascenders/descenders of a Clarendon design, but drawn with the precision curves and smooth, sturdy structure of a geometric slab.

The result retains the charm of wood type, but sheds a lot of the over-familiarity and sameness of a digital revival.

Dirk is available in both a clean, Black weight as well as a Stencil version.

Each styles feature a full Western, Central, and South Eastern European character set.

Inspired by old school sign painting techniques, Grand is a display condensed sans serif that isn't shy to put its foot down.

Its verticality and bulky curves combined with its sharp angular connections between the bowls and stems give Grand a distinctive look and feel.

It comes in 12 styles (6 weights and accompanying italics), and supports over 200 languages.

Grand Regular and Grand Italic are both available for free (personal and commercial use).
