Ardi, also published under 7NTypes, works slabs and serifs with a moody edge. Cinder Lantern suggests haunted signage, Quality Dreams a softer premium serif, and the 19 releases keep a high level of finish across both directions.
Before you buy from this studio
Compare the stems of the two directions before pairing them. A soft serif and a haunted slab rarely share contrast, which shows up immediately in a two-line layout.
Open traditional serif with contrasting stems and curved serif transitions
Cinder Lantern is an open traditional serif in which the stems contrast clearly, the bowls stay broad and round, the L carries a long fine foot and the t rises above a compact lowercase, so a two-line title reads as a calm editorial head.
Ideas for this font
Plain rounded neutral sans
Quality Dreams is a plain rounded sans in charcoal on a pale ground with a soft leaf shadow: mixed case with a short diagonal Q tail, an open e, even strokes and rounded terminals, set as one line with a small tracked line above and a plain line beneath.
Ideas for this font
Bold high-x-height grotesque
Shift Sans is a bold grotesque in cream on green: very tall x-height, short ascenders, flat terminals and slightly narrow counters, with two stacked lines filling the plate and a tracked caption above and below, so the pair reads as a contemporary poster headline.
Ideas for this font
Tall soft letters with curled extensions and an offset outline
Kinder Garden is a tall soft face in which the letters rise above the line, the extensions curl away and an offset outline sits behind each stroke, so a word reads as a hand-painted shop sign with depth.
Ideas for this font
Soft upright mixed case with slight flaring and broad lowercase bowls
Fadelight is a soft upright display in which the letters carry moderate weight, the ends flare gently, the bowls stay broad and the tall ascenders set a steady rhythm with one descending g, so a phrase reads as friendly sign lettering.

College slab serif
Modern Varsity is a college slab in white on a black ground: heavy caps with block serifs, a high waist and narrow counters, set on two lines with short tracked lines above and beneath, framed by hairline rules that run the width of the plate.

Fine open separate handwriting with even strokes and a narrow skeleton
Andestah Handwriting is fine open handwriting in which the letters stand apart, the stroke stays light and even and the skeleton is narrow, so a word reads as something written neatly with a fineliner.
Ideas for this font
Gentle rounded handwritten print
Something Refined is a gentle rounded handwritten print in charcoal on cream: tall ascenders, open round bowls and a slight forward tilt, calm enough to set a short paragraph.
Ideas for this font
Joined circular display
Moogte is a joined circular display in white on a black ground: mixed case built from near-perfect circles, with the two o bowls fused into a single loop, a curling g descender and a cut on the t, set as one word with a small tracked line above and beneath.
Ideas for this font
Heavy slab with soft corners
Munkay is a slab serif in orange on a warm grey ground: heavy stems with softly bracketed serifs, a large x-height and a short descender, set as one word with a tracked label above and beneath in the same family.
Ideas for this font
Modern serif with long upper loops
Orange Portrait is a modern serif in burnt orange on off-white: broad mixed-case letters with heavy stems and hairline joins, and long fine loops that rise from the O and the g and cross above the word, with the second line tucked underneath and tracked lines at the head and foot.

College slab display
Love Jokes is a college slab in cream on a rust-red ground: heavy caps with wide block serifs, a low waist and closed counters, set on two lines between two oval badges that read ESTD and 2026, with a tracked line beneath.
Ideas for this font
Modern serif with organic rusticated details
Rustic Royale is a modern serif in black on off-white: high contrast with fine hairlines, an R whose leg curls into a ball terminal, a t with a curved top, and an e that finishes in a long tail, so the word reads as a contemporary serif with hand-drawn irregularities.
Ideas for this font
Heavy contrasting mixed case with a low g and curled final e
Avenue Mirage shows brown serif lettering in two rows on white. Broad heavy bowls meet fine joins, a slender diagonal crosses the upper n area, the lower g descends into a thick curved tail, and the final e curls upward into a large terminal above a compact subtitle.
Ideas for this font
Angular geometric skate-deck lettering with cut corners and a shadow offset
Grynd sets a black word in angular geometric forms with several corners sliced away, a heavy even stroke and a pale shadow offset behind every letter, over a deck graphic.
Ideas for this font
Fat slab serif with heavy rectangular serifs
Power Force is a fat slab serif in yellow on black: very heavy capitals with rectangular serifs as thick as the stems, tight fitting and short counters, framed by two thin brown rules and a small capital line.
Ideas for this font
Condensed solid slabs with softly rounded rectangular bowls
Board Peace shows dark brown capitals over pale horizontal boards, where tall narrow stems end in broad rectangular feet, the B and O keep rounded rectangular counters and the R kicks outward into a fine leg.
Ideas for this font
Film-strip band display
Roll Film is a display face in white on cracked grey asphalt: tall capitals built from narrow vertical bands with a row of small perforations down each side, slotted ends and a stepped, segmented silhouette, with tracked lines above and beneath.
Tall bouncy disconnected brush-pen kitchen display
Bakery Kitchen is a tall, warm disconnected brush-pen display font (zero cursive joins!) pairing thick downstrokes with curled 'n/y' hooks.
