Two years in the making, Thanatos is finally out in the world! Inspired by woodcuts, and horror films, it has sharp and angular features that feel human-made. Optical sizing is what really makes it versatile, though. Read more and test it on

Here’s how Mancine might have been used had it been released around 1900 (and a Letraset version published in 1970). How would it be used in 2024? That’s for you guys to figure out.
