Original Type [Artur Schmal] Born and raised in Den Haag, Artur Schmal was formed at the KABK in type and media. He founded Original Type in 2018. In 2021, Original Type joined Type Network. His typefaces: At OurType, he designed Parry (+Condensed) and Parry Grotesque (+Condensed) in 2006. Schmal says that it was inspired by Edmund Fry and Thorowgood. Parry gets its name from John Parry, whose painting A London Street Scene (1840) captures the typographic landscape of the Victorian Era. Type Network: Parry has its roots in the robust slab serif typefaces that appeared in the Victorian age. It is not a revival though, and its aesthetics make it truly a contemporary typeface. The soft curves and quirky serifs combine with sharp cut stroke endings to produce a text image that is softer than the rigid nature of most slab serifs. Kufam. Artur writes: Kufam is the result of the collaboration between me and my design partner Wael Morcos in the second edition of the Typographic Matchmaking project in which we set out to design a typeface containing both Arab and Latin scripts that would complement each other. The typeface finds its inspiration in sources far apart from each other in both time and distance: the Arabic Kufi script in the lowercase and dutch urban lettering seen in the twenties and thirties of the previous century in the capitals of the Latin. The font supports the Arabic and Persian scripts. In 2014 Kufam was published on the now defunct type label OurType, where the font development team expanded the character set from Standard to Pro and remastered the fonts. Kufam was available on OurType until 2017. From 2018 Kufam was reworked to meet Google Fonts Latin Expert and Arabic character sets and in 2020 Kufam was made available on Google Fonts (with Wael Marcos). Github link. Bonnie.
