📢 Welcome Pilowlava Atome! Guess what? We were contacted some time ago to create a custom version of Pilowlava! So, we're thrilled to introduce Pilowlava Atome, a new style added to the Regular, featuring perforations in the letters to mimic climbing holds. This custom version of Pilowlava, designed by Anton Moglia, is created specifically for our friends at the Atome climbing gym in Annecy, France. 🧗‍♂️ This project draws inspiration from the Graphic Designer and Art Director Gabriel Robert, who created a poster and a t-shirt for Atome's anniversary with perforations in the letters. Pilowlava Atome is available today at Velvetyne! Get it now and elevate your designs: https://velvetyne.fr/fonts/pilowlava

What's this, a font for ants? No, a font made of ants! Ouvrières is our latest release. Designed by Laure Azizi; it presents letters completely made of ant modules that swarm and giggle around the page. Ants swarm through the forest in search of succulent crumbs. Sometimes hungry, sometimes fighters, they adapt their formations along two variable axes to create six styles, so they can adapt to any situation. They guide us through the winding galleries, perhaps all the way to the queen? Go download Ouvrières now and enjoy :) https://velvetyne.fr/fonts/ouvriere/

Hello everyone !!! A new Velvetyne typeface is coming very soon and it's... full of ants 👀 or rather, made of ants! 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 Say hello to Ouvrière (female worker), the new font by the one and only Laure Azizi. Of course, one wouldn't expect a font called PicNic not to attract some of the little critters to our foundry! 😜😜😜 If you're in Brussels, come celebrate with us this friday! It will be 'antastic! https://www.instagram.com/p/C3iXLjdtV0y/

✨ New Font Update ! ✨ This is a fresh take on our classic, Lineal. This update introduces lowercase letters, additional glyphs, and a range from Thin to Heavy weights, all while preserving the vibes of Frank Adebiaye original design. The transformation began in 2019 with Anton Moglia, who reimagined and expanded Lineal's family. Following this, Ariel Martín Pérez contributed to further enhance language support, and improving kerning and spacing. 🔗 Download the updated Lineal now on Velvetyne.fr

Hello, some time ago, we started noticing websites that take advantage of our open source font licenses to make profit through ads. More recently, our next-to-be-published author Xiaoyuan Gao (NotYourTypeFoudry) had a problem with a font-distributing website called Fontesk. Fontesk published one of their fonts, taken from a git repository, as a release and then refused to take it down, blocking Xiaoyuan Gao in the process. Xiaoyuan explained this situation in a recent post. We would like to support her by denouncing this kind of behavior and calling for a greater accountability of open-source font distributors.

This just in! We've just published an update on Façade Typeface, now with Ukrainian Cyrillic support thanks to LevType. Some of the new Cyrillic glyphs are quite experimental. Get the update now! -> https://velvetyne.fr/fonts/facade/

Hello! Just a quick note to tell you that we're no longer publishing in-use examples of fonts on our website, by the moment. We're preparing a new platform that will facilitate in-use submissions. But until then, we kindly ask you for your patience. Please spread the word!

Another fun little experiment made by Adel Faure with his jgs font! Rotating ASCII heads! https://adelfaure.net/lab/apps/animascii_test.html

Another cool example of Jgs font in action is this funky Fungy gallery, 100% made by ASCII artists. Cheers! https://fungi.neocities.org/
