(28 typefaces).
Maulana Creative thinks in pairings. Mantiques and Strimbey both arrive as coordinated two-font sets, and the 28 releases in the portfolio mostly follow that pattern of a characterful display face matched with a quieter companion for supporting text.
Before you buy from this studio
Compare the x-height of the two fonts in each duo, not just their style. A large mismatch is what makes a script and a sans look pasted together rather than designed together.
