F37 JAN · BRITISH GROTESQUE · BOLD ONLY NO THIRD FAMILY · CONTRAST VIA SIZE & CASE REF: LL-DS-TYPE
Philosophy
Two families do all the work. F37 Jan is the voice of our ideas — a British grotesque with warmth and teeth. Ioskeley Mono is the voice of our machinery — an industrial terminal face for data, labels, codes, and the quiet scaffolding around the work.
No third family. No decorative weight. If a design needs a third voice, the answer is always contrast of size and case, not typeface.
Do / Don't 02
- DO
- Set headlines tight — negative tracking, leading under 1.0.
- DO
- Use mono for metadata, labels, codes, timestamps, units.
- DO
- Mix display and mono for texture, not for hierarchy.
- DON'T
- Italicise — neither family has true italics; rely on weight and colour.
- DON'T
- Underline body type. Underlines are reserved for links.
- DON'T
- Set body copy in mono. It's a texture, not a reading face.

Display headlines do the persuading. Mono captions do the verifying. The two never compete for voice.
Crafted in Newcastle.
Ref AL6061-T6 · ⌀ 160mm
Orange display type earns attention sparingly — one accent per composition. Everything else wears black or the off-white surface.
Blockquote
The function of the machine is to allow us to think more efficiently and effectively.

Usage 03
- DO
- Reserve blockquotes for attributed quotes — real speech, real sources.
- DO
- Use
<cite>for the attribution; style it in mono caps. - DON'T
- Pull-quote decorative copy. Use a hero or callout component instead.
- DON'T
- Italicise the quote text — weight and the accent colour carry emphasis.
