Stephen Nixon of Brooklyn-based type foundry ArrowType released the 1.0 version of Kyrios, his take on blackletter, back in April, and this fall we collaborated on his recounting of the family’s long road from conception to reality.

My friend and type-design hero Stephen Nixon has finally released the 1.0 version of his lovely Name Sans (the type family used for headlines on this very site). It was a pleasure to collaborate with him in telling the (very New York) story of how it came to be.
