Byte is a modular font, resulting from experiments in creating a practical, legible font from a minimum set of geometric components on a uniform grid.
It comes in three styles – 105, 205 and 305. 105 is square sided, 205 is bevelled and 305 is rounded. Each style is available in three weights, Light, Medium and Bold.

Koi: an op-art display font
A unique inline/outline font in three weights.
A unique inline/outline font in three weights, each character is created from a single continuous line. Good for redesigning old-school, lower league football programmes, so I’m anticipating some significant demand.
Well-balanced

Having designed typefaces, it’s good to play around with them, just to make sure these fonts see the light of day. Follow Talbot Type on Instagram for more mucking about with letterforms.

Karben 105 Stencil: utilitarian
We’re not fans of weapons here at Talbot Type, so this is a sweetie tin. Karben 105 Stencil looks good on items such as hard-wearing sweetie tins.

K-haus 105 and 205: Bauhaus inspired fonts
In 2019, the Bauhaus was 100 years old. Time for a Bauhaus inspired font – two in fact.
2019, marked 100 years since the Bauhaus opened in Weimar, Germany, changing the course of design for ever. As a designer who’s been influenced by its remarkable output, I thought it was time for a font (in two variations), influenced by the work of Herbert Bayer, during his time at the Bauhaus.

Elegant and timeless it can be put to any task, it’s a bit like concrete — the glue that holds stuff together, often unnoticed yet beautiful when used well.
