ABOUT

Emilios Theofanous

Graduate of ESAD in Amiens, France, where his graduation typeface was Topos (2018). He writes: Topos is a type family designed for contemporary book and poetry publications. [...] In addition to the standard weights, from Light to Black, Topos comes in four grades, all sharing the same spacing for the Book size. This offers the flexibility of choice of colour, without altering the layout: the calibration will remain the same, while the weight is fine-tuned. Historical references from the Baroque era run throughout this type family with more celebrated features visible in the italics. Greek, including polytonic, is supported as well.

In 2021, he took part in the development of Helvetica Now Variable (Monotype). Helvetica Now Variable was designed by Max Miedinger, Charles Nix, Monotype Studio, Friedrich Althausen, Malou Verlomme, Jan Hendrik Weber and Emilios Theofanous and published by Monotype. Monotype writes: Helvetica Now Variable gives you over a million new Helvetica styles in one state-of-the-art font file (over two-and-a-half million with italics!). Use it as an extension of the Helvetica Now family or make custom-blends from its weights (Hairline to ExtraBlack), optical sizes (four point to infinity), and new Compressed and Condensed widths. It contains 144 static styles.
