Ernst is an elegant but playful slab serif which harks back to some peculiar early 20th-century types but responds to contemporary demands by offering a wide range of applications. Not properly a revival, Ernst blends type details from avant-garde faces such as Ernst Deutsch/Dryden’s Tango and Georg Belwe’s Belwe Antiqua. Its pronounced and frisky details make it a strong candidate for display work, while the big x-height, its design rigour and consistency of proportions also make it suitable for long texts.
CAST is a type foundry set up as a cooperative in 2014. So far we’ve released 18 types, including Sole Serif and Sole Sans (EDA Silver 2019), plus other custom faces. In 2016 we launched Cast it, an occasional publication to showcase our typefaces. Since 2017 we’ve been running CAST Articles – The science of type, its history and culture on our website.
