Zafara Studios pairs textured graphite with a light handwritten script. Graphite gives the sans side a pencil feel, Ez Emberlyn the personal one, and the 10 releases are pitched at journals, posters and small brand work.
Before you buy from this studio
Pencil textures are print assets. On vinyl they read as dirt, so keep the textured cut for paper and fabric.
Low wide mixed case with flattened bowls and a long horizontal t bar
Graphite is a wide geometric sans with flattened bowls and a very long horizontal t bar, set here in warm beige on charcoal so the letterforms do the talking and the page stays quiet.
Ideas for this font
Fine tall separate print
Ez Emberlyn is a fine handwritten print face in which the letters stand separately, the stems run tall, the m and n keep rounded tops and the y descends in a narrow line, so a short phrase reads as careful pen writing without any joins.

Bouncy separate mixed-case print
Ez Fwipple shows uneven separate letters with a tall F, long p descenders and lowercase proportions that change from letter to letter rather than holding one geometric width.
Ideas for this font
Hand-lettered rounded caps with irregular shapes and a light monoline
Elabora is a hand-lettered capital alphabet in which every letter is drawn with an even rounded line, the proportions wander and the corners stay soft, so a word reads as something sketched on a card with a felt pen.

Plain upright mixed case with broad open curves and a compact t crossbar
Exalted is a neo-grotesque in the plain sense: even strokes, closed apertures, horizontal terminals and nothing decorative, set in black on a yellow field as a specimen cover.
Ideas for this font
Broad contrast capitals with sharp top cuts and curved tapering joins
Kripto centres white uppercase lettering on deep purple, where thick upright strokes meet finer curved O and P joins, the R leg sweeps diagonally outward and the K arms meet in a sharp central junction.
Ideas for this font
Soft uneven uppercase with rounded C bowls and gently bowed N diagonals
Candleon is a soft humanist sans in coral: wide arches, gently flared stems, open terminals and an A whose apex is cut flat so the letter reads warm rather than geometric.
Ideas for this font
Uneven upright mixed case with a broad rounded A and lifted r shoulder
Ez Arvent is an uneven upright display in which the capital E sets a flat-armed block, the rounded A opens wide, the r lifts its shoulder and the t turns a soft rightward foot, so a playful title reads as hand-drawn signage.
Open rounded everyday handwriting with tall ascenders and a wide fit
Ez Biscuit is open rounded handwriting with tall ascenders, wide spacing and a level baseline, drawn so a short phrase reads as something written quickly but neatly.
Ideas for this font
Extremely tall narrow family
Orstavic is an extremely tall narrow sans on black: mixed case with long oval bowls, a rectangular i dot and a very narrow fit, set as one line with a red line beneath that names the cuts, and a small credits row along the foot that names the designer and the studio.
