Typetanic Fonts

Meet FLEXOPLEX, a condensed sans serif inspired by early 20th-century narrow gothics and other industrial lettering. Originally developed to meet the spatial constraints of liquor labeling — where government warnings had to remain legible and registration numbers had to meet strict height requirements — Flexoplex balances vintage utility with contemporary precision. Used for display or text, its compact forms and mechanical tone lend vernacular flair to packaging, editorial design, websites, and film posters.

Happy birthday to the namesake of the LaFarge typeface, Christopher Grant LaFarge — born today in 1862! Along with his business partner George Lewis Heins, LaFarge was the architect behind the first stations of the Interborough Rapid Transit subway. The LaFarge typeface is primarily inspired by station lettering done by LaFarge’s protégé and successor, Squire J. Vickers.
