We are a typefoundry, formed in 2003 by the British typographer Roy Cole,
who studied under Emil Ruder in Basle, Switzerland, in the early 1960s. Our
objective is to develop further the sanserif style of typeface. We do this through
the release of new fonts which are distinctive in design and which demonstrate
superb legibility, making them eminently suitable for text composition.

We currently offer two typeface families, namely Lina and Zeta, each comprising
six fonts.

Lina 30, the roman font, was drawn originally by hand and its character set
later extended and then digitally redrawn. The five additional fonts, 60, 90, along
with the italics 33, 66, 99, followed, and were all produced digitally from
scratch. Being slightly condensed, Lina is characterized by economy of space. The
capitals and figures are not as tall as the lowercase ascenders, but retain the
latter's weight.

Zeta is modelled on traditional proportions and, as such, may be utilized to good
effect in book typography. As with Lina its capitals are restricted in height
when compared with the ascenders, and the figures are somewhat less high than
the capitals, resulting in an even text colour. Zeta can be set with little leading
and still retain fine legibility.
