Homepage of the relaunched Hurme Design website & foundry shop. The Fontsampler WordPress plugin in use in Underscore’s very own webshop - no better way to demo it’s capabilities. Work on more useful WooCommerce plugins for the type business has been substantially driven by the development of Underscore’s own webshop - so stay tuned for new releases in 2019! And if you are one of the donors that have given to the development of those tools a heartfelt thanks goes out to you.

In 2018 our popular Fontsampler WordPress plugin saw many incremental updates, helping many independent type designers and foundries showcase their fonts on their websites. Underscore’s mission also includes the development of useful tools for type design, many of them open source and free to use. Phew!Ī design is only as good as its proof! Plato Sans received a wide ranging Latin charset including alternates and icons. In the the autumn, the subsequent release of the slab serif display typeface family Constant rounded off the type releases for year one. In addition to these two text typefaces 2018 also saw the release of Quell (and its well received minisite), the first family of display fonts from Underscore. A shot of Jozef specimen cards showing this versatile text family in full range. In addition to the webshop the foundry also kicked things off at several font retailers to a wonderful reception from customers the world over. Hard to believe, but it has only been one year since the Underscore webshop and its first font releases went public! Beginning with the Underscore inaugural releases Silta and Jozef the year started in full force.

With all these wonderful clients, happy customers and positive feedback I felt moved to step back for a second and review what a lucky first year of business it has been! Inaugural typeface releases In this past year so many amazing things have happened it is hard to list them all in just one post.
