Mrs Eaves XL Serif OT

Mrs Eaves XL was designed by Zuzana Licko at Emigre Fonts in Berkeley, California. The original Mrs Eaves typeface was designed in 1996 by Licko. It was modeled after Baskerville, which was created in 1757 by John Baskerville. The inspiration for the Mrs Eaves typeface was the way Baskerville appeared when printed on paper. To differentiate Mrs Eaves from other revivals of Baskerville, Licko made Mrs. Eaves thicker and with a wider x-height. This worked beautifully for titles and heading, but, unfortunately, Mrs Eaves often looked too wide when in long sections of body text. This lead to Licko adding Mrs Eaves XL to the typeface family in 2009. Mrs Eaves XL has a larger x-height, shorter ascenders and descenders, and overall tighter spacing, making it much more suitable for body text. This redesign fixed many of the issues designers had been complaining about, and made Mrs. Eaves an even more versatile typeface.

Roc Grotesk

Roc Grotesk was designed by father and son duo Zoran and Nikola Kostic from Kostic Type Foundry located in Belgrade, Serbia. Roc Grotesk was released in 2012 and features an impressive 45 different styles to choose from. The Kostics drew their inspiration from American wood type created in the late 1800s when designing Roc Grotesk. It features large stroke contrast, which is more apparent in heavier weights. The family includes characters for English, Central European languages, and Turkish.
