Foro handles our headlines, and previously handled much of our text itself. We love the character that this Hoftype font adds, and it has enough subtlety to look great when blown up. Add a slew of features and it’s the perfect headline font when you don’t want to look like everyone else.

We’re big fans of Jos Buivenga over at Exljbris, but we like to be different, so we fell in love with one of his lesser known fonts, Tenso. It has its own quirkiness that matches our own, but retains a legibility that we need given our smaller text sizes.

Motiva Sans is a font I personally fought for. Plau has made a font that’s not only easily readable, but makes big blocks of text so much cleaner. We put it into our blog and instantly fell in love. It looks even better on retina screens!

We knew we wanted Motiva Sans for our blog, but we needed a good solid Slab to pair with it. After cycling through a large list to find the right one, we ended up with Newslab. It made for some really chunky headlines and we found it a perfect companion to the more streamlined Motiva.

You’re looking at Brandon Text right now! We use it in our header images for this very newsletter. It could have easily been Brandon Grotesque, since the caps are so similar, but sometimes you just have to go with your gut and what feels better.
