| Azo Sans |
 |
| Azo Sans is a new geometric grotesque loosely based on the elementary forms of geometry. It is constructed in a geometric manner and inspired by the constructivist typefaces of the 1920's, but is instilled with a humanistic quality. Azo Sans is full of nuances that soften the strictness of pure geometry, making the typeface more human and pleasant to read in longer body text. Azo Sans comes in six weights from Thin to Black, with a matching cursive italic for every weight. More details and availability. |

| Aria Pro |
 |
| The inspiration for Aria was the epigraph on a frame of a nineteenth century painting. The high contrast, and overall quirkiness of the capitals, especially the R's tail and the M's oblique stems, were the main triggers. Attempting to capture the Romanticism of the original letters, the result was a lyric display typeface. The approach allowed for some exuberance on the regular style, but also led to more calligraphic letterforms in the italic. Aria Pro is a release by Fountain Type; was a winning entrie of Atypi Letter.2; was selected for the Typography Annual 2 of Communication Arts; was one of Typographica's favourite typefaces of 2011.

| Orbe Pro |

| Catacumba Pro |
 |
Catacumba is a six-weight typeface inspired by the painted inscriptions of the Igreja de São Francisco church's catacombs in Porto, Portugal. The forms are clearly influenced by Victorian style, with an unmistakable French heritage, and yet they somehow convey a decidedly Portuguese sensibility. Catacumba's centerpieces are its two titling styles: the exuberant Excelsa, and the Didonesque Moderata. From these two decoratives, four new cuts are derived. Catacumba Pro is a joint release by Fountain and PSY/OPS. |
