Tiny type foundry that makes letters, numbers, and goods for people like you. Never perfect. Always a-okay. A @simplebits bit.

Hopefully you’ve seen our previous post—we’ve been acquired! By…us 😂 . We won’t be posting here anymore, but we hope you’ll join us @simplebits for all the same, mediocre type and design content and so much more. 🧡

Psst: We just released new Rough styles for Parkly, our typeface inspired by vintage, WPA National Parks posters. It comes in 3 widths and it’s fun to mix those up for a wood type-y vibe. All-caps, numerals, basic punctuation. 6 styles included! simpletype.co/products/parkl…

It’s almost Spring here in New England. We’re very much looking forward to all things salt water. On it, in it, around it. It’s (always been) a long winter. #shipswhistlefont

Testing the forthcoming Ships Whistle styles (Italic, Rough, + swashy italic caps). If you like Ted Lasso, give Shrinking a watch. Outstanding cast, great writing, hilarious, etc.

Have always loved big band music from the 1940’s. Top band for me is Count Basie. Catch the right recording, and there’s this bombastic attack the band would hit on (Check out Corner Pocket). It’s the punk rock of the swing era. #grandsansfont simpletype.co/products/grand…
