SUOMI TYPE FOUNDRY COMES IN FROM THE COLD
Tomi Haaparanta started designing type in 1990 and after releasing fonts via the mainstream channels decided to launch his own Suomi Type Foundry in 2004. Suomi is Finnish for Finland where Tomi lives and designs affordable text families with an extensive range of weights, or scripts such as Suomi Script, invariably brimming with ligatures and alternates. Latest release is the friendly, swashbuckling Tenner.

HVD offers Hannes a vehicle for his more personal and experimental ideas. Versatility's the name of the game; Brevia is a cute and friendly text face, his Subway Types is perhaps the most extensive study in graffiti styles, while Cowboyslang is a gung-ho homage to the wild west.
