Blast Foundry Blast Foundry (The Netherlands and Poland) was set up in 2021 by Barbara Bigosinska, Rafa Buchner and Diana Ovezea. Future Fonts link. Their typefaces: Bay Sans Bizzarrini (2018, Diana Ovezea and Sabina Chipara). Diana Ovezea writes about the wonderful Bizzarrini: Though the idea originates from a Stefan Schlesinger ad sketch for a Paris couture house, we straightened up this typeface and made it seem engineered and sharp. It gets its name from the Bizzarrini Manta, a wedge-shaped concept car designed in 1968 by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Bizzarrini has extremely long wedge serifs. Following Schlesinger's sketch, it features very tall capitals with an out-of proportion middle-line (very big heads on S, B and R). Capra (2020, Diana Ovezea). A headline typeface with a bouncy baseline. This project started as a one-day challenge to recreate a piece of lettering on the Glass Menagerie poster designed by David Klein in 1958. Gamer. Granblue (2021). An experimental typeface by Diana Ovezea. Sharf (2021, mainly Barbara Bigosinska). With six weights and two optical sizes, and a variable font option, this display typeface has razor sharp edges and quite a few surprises to liven up many a page. Silverknife (2020, Diana Ovezea). Silverknife is a tall and skinny version of Silverspoon. Silverspoon (2018, Diana Ovezea). Silverspoon is a contemporary take on Copperplate Gothic.
