Fira Sans (2012-2018). By Carrois and Spiekermann, who explain this famous open source typeface: Born in 2012 in close cooperation with Erik Spiekermann. Fira Sans, the little sister of Meta---Erik's famous and worldwide well known typeface. Fira Sans was originally designed as a typeface for the Mozilla OS, Fira Sans has developed towards a standalone OpenSource project. After Mozilla withdrew from the project, we integrated small bug fixes and several requests for the 4.3 release. Additionally, Fira now offers localised features for Hungarian, Serbian, Macedonian and Bulgarian. Especially the locl BGR, which was designed in cooperation with Bulgarian type designers Botio Nikoltchev and Vassil Kateliev, is a real treat. The free typeface family Trujillo (2019) is a fork (a small modification) of Fira Sans by bBox Type GmbH, Carrois Corporate GbR and Edenspiekermann AG. FiraGO (2012-2018). A (free) outgrowth of Fira Sans: In 2016, the geo data provider Here chose Fira Sans as their corporate typeface. Their need for a broader language coverage especially in map applications led them to commission us with a global script extension. Thanks to our great team of designers, consultants and technicians, the project was completed by 2017. Based on the Fira Sans 4.3 glyph set, FiraGO now supports Arabic, Devanagari, Georgian, Hebrew and Thai. Gintronic (2016). A programming font by Mark Froemberg. Gute (2018). A rounded sans by Ralph du Carrois and Anja Meiners. Krikikrak and Krikikrak Dingbats (2016). By Jenny du Carrois. Lonne (2017). By Natalie Rauch. Mamotschka (2017). By Anja Meiners based on her mother's handwriting. Midori (2018). A rounded sans by Ralph du Carrois. Neue Galerie (2017). By Ralph du Carrois who explains: In 2010, together with Anja Knust, we reworked Mies van der Rohe's sketches of the typeface Allzweck. During this interesting and historical project we had to carefully consider when to stick to the original and when to optimise it typographically. See also du Carrois's Allzweck (2012). Quist (2016). A contemporary gothic sans by Ralph du Carrois. Raikka (2016). By Natalie Rauch.
