Occidental Family on MyFonts — Typophile archive

Hey everyone,

Just a quick note to let you all know that the Occidental family is now available through Myfonts.

http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/ryancorey/occidental/

The Occidental family is a geometric, sans-serif text face marked by its angular construction.

Occidental is suitable and economical enough to set large blocks of copy, but at display sizes Occidental’s inherent character takes over making it useful for headline setting as well.

The family includes four weights, each with corresponding italics (excepting Display) for a total of seven fonts.

Congratulations on the release, Ryan. This is an interesting mix of curves and straights.

Not to pigeonhole the typeface, but I could see it finding an audience with hip design firms and cultural organizations.
