- LUCASFONTS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE
Our type.co.uk worker bees have been busy of late adding more quality collections to the website for you lucky people to buy. First up is the high quality Lucasfonts library, a superb collection of alternative sans serifs (Corpid, Sun, Spiegel) perfect for Corporate Identity and publishing purposes. Most families feature an extensive range of weights plus Caps and Condensed variants. Check out the amazing 30 weight OpenType version of contemporary sans face Taz III. The library also includes the most extensive family in the world, the legendary Thesis typeface; many of you will be familiar with TheSans, TheSerif and TheMix (144 weights!) but take a look at the beautiful and more traditional serif derivative TheAntiqua, in particular the wonderful lighter weights.
