Really proud to release Atencio, a Rubens revival with four weights and a variable axis. It’s a work-in-progress, but I hope it’s useful already!

When it comes to naming fonts, something I suspect everyone dislikes doing—
When do you decide to care that another font exists with a desired name? If it is from a foundry you know? If it’s in a major font marketplace? Do you disqualify lower-quality fonts with a desired name? Do you ignore all the “etsy millennial script” fonts that inevitably use every name imaginable? When do you prefix or suffix with your foundry’s abbreviation? When do you say “fuck it” and name it whatever you want anyway?
It’s not every day we get to make a logo for a 175-year-old company like Hammacher Schlemmer.
