LL Agip77 is free until Jan. 1 at Lineto.com. The third font in a series of design exercises, Agip77 playfully reflects the DNA of Lineto’s neo-grotesk superfamily, LL Unica77. Ten years after its release, Unica77 stands as the rightful heir to Switzerland’s post-war rational design, synthesizing the various advantages of the trinity that came to define 20th-century type: Helvetica, Univers, and Akzidenz Grotesk.

Make sure to equip yourself with the accurate traffic essentials. The publication “Tratex — A road sign alphabet in the making” traces the history of the Swedish Road signs alphabet from 1931 onwards. By the 1980s, a cohesive design system had been established, which remains largely in use today. For decades, the design internally did not have a formal name and the engineers responsible for drawing the letters had similarly been largely anonymous outside the Vägbyrån and Trafikbyrån government agency. This only changed when the alphabet was digitized and attributed to Karl-Gustaf Gustafson and Chester Bernsten.
Digitization both contributed to and distorted the history of the road sign alphabet. While Tratex gained wider recognition through online distribution, certain material and social aspects of the letterforms were obscured in their transformation into a digital typeface. As a result, the history of Tratex has remained fragmented. These are the circumstances that have prompted the present book, which explores the development of the alphabet before it was digitized.

Munken Paper @munkenpaper
Publication alert — Tratex, the alphabet designed for Swedish road signs, is a defining feature of the country’s public space. Its sober, geometric forms are woven into the everyday environment. Behind the seemingly neutral design lies a layered history that begins in 1931, when Sweden introduced its first road sign regulations. Over the following decades, the letters were repeatedly redrawn and adapted to new needs and production technologies. In 2002, the Swedish National Road Administration released the alphabet as a freely available digital font, allowing it to circulate far beyond the roadside, in everything from books to corporate identities. Digitization also altered how the alphabet’s history was understood, turning anonymous engineering work into attributed design while obscuring aspects of its material, institutional, and cultural context.
Drawing extensively on archival sources, this book traces the development of Tratex prior to its digital release and situates it within the broader technological and social transformations of twentieth-century Sweden – a society increasingly organized around the car. It also examines the criticism Tratex has faced over the years, along with the alternative alphabets proposed to replace it.

Initial research for this book had been undertaken over several years out of personal interest. It was through a project to design a new corporate typeface inspired by Swedish roadsigns for Munken Paper that the research took shape and eventually materialized into the present work. The project was commissioned by Björn Lux of the branding agency Juno and conceptualized by Laurenz Brunner, Jonas Williamsson, and Cornel Windlin. The resulting typeface, Munken Sans, was designed by Laurenz Brunner and Selina Bernet, and released in 2020 by Lineto. The research was conducted by Rikard Heberling and Jonas Williamsson.

Digitization also altered how the alphabet’s history was understood, turning anonymous engineering work into attributed design while obscuring aspects of its material, institutional, and cultural context.
Drawing extensively on archival sources, this book traces the development of Tratex prior to its digital release and situates it within the broader technological and social transformations of twentieth-century Sweden – a society increasingly organized around the car. It also examines the criticism Tratex has faced over the years, along with the alternative alphabets proposed to replace it.

Initial research for this book had been undertaken over several years out of personal interest. It was through a project to design a new corporate typeface inspired by Swedish roadsigns for Munken Paper that the research took shape and eventually materialized into the present work. The project was commissioned by Björn Lux of the branding agency Juno and conceptualized by Laurenz Brunner, Jonas Williamsson, and Cornel Windlin. The resulting typeface, Munken Sans, was designed by Laurenz Brunner and Selina Bernet, and released in 2020 by Lineto. The research was conducted by Rikard Heberling and Jonas Williamsson.

Publication alert — Tratex, the alphabet designed for Swedish road signs, is a defining feature of the country’s public space. Its sober, geometric forms are woven into the everyday environment. Behind the seemingly neutral design lies a layered history that begins in 1931, when Sweden introduced its first road sign regulations.

We are pleased to announce the release of LL Capital, a new serif typeface by Pablo Desportes.
Taking you back to the heydays of hedonistic fun & frolicking, Capital is a contemporary take on those graphic Caslon renderings from the 1970s: a confident, colourful, tightly-spaced headline font for maximum bang per inch.
LL Capital is available in one weight, and two styles: Roman and Italics.
No Pussyfooting!

LL Cyan and Cyan Mono
Writing instruction turned into letterforms
Born of a writing exercise in Jan Tschichold’s Schriftlehre, Handschriften und Skizzieren (Basel, 1942), LL Cyan is the latest typeface from Aurèle Sack @aurele_sack (LL Brown, Ivory, Grey). In creating what is a clear-minded and visually distinctive sans serif family, Aurèle brings Tschichold’s unusual source to its digital conclusion. Informed by the outstanding rhythm and playfulness of a school writing exercise, yet going above and beyond this, to become a typeface in its own right with 16 styles across two families: LL Cyan and Cyan Mono is available for purchase or trial download on Lineto.com.

Get to know Kleisch’s elegant beauty and underlying research in our extended limited print edition. While the Kleisch ‘Specimen‘ shows the beauty of Kleisch over all families and cuts, from Text to Headline to Display, from light to bold and from static to variable, the Kleisch ‘Specification‘ elaborates on the research and the technical parallels to Ming typefaces that can be found in Baroque and Neoclassicist faces and that guided the formal design of Kleisch.
Make sure you order one of the limited two-volume edition or dig into the topic on our new Article Section on lineto.com

LL Kleisch is a thoughtful and versatile typeface for text to display use. More than that, its the perfect companion to old-style CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) Ming typefaces.
Next to the regular LL Kleisch family with six weights plus italics, the Kleisch Headline and Kleisch Display families offer improved contrast for use in large and extra-large sizes, respectively. To allow for perfect adjustment to various designs with Ming fonts, Kleisch also comes in a fully variable version: With axes for weight and contras that allow to minutely modify character shape and greytone to match a wide range of Ming designs in common use today.

A recent studio visit at @norm_zurich , the Zurich-based masters of the super tight grid, finds them absorbed with putting Riforma Flex, the upcoming expansive variable elaboration of their all-purpose LL Riforma, to exacting use in two substantial book projects currently nearing completion.
LIVE EVIL is a comprehensive new monograph about Arthur Jafa’s decades-long work, reflecting on his sprawling 2022 presentation at LUMA Arles, and published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König.
The second book is a full retrospective of the oeuvre of Bernhard Mendes Bürgi, spanning all 110 of the Swiss curator’s exhibition projects. It will be launched during the Zurich Art Weekend on 13 June at Kunsthalle Zürich, where Bürgi was the founding director from 1989 until 2001.
While keeping its distinctive quality and formal purity, the Riforma Flex project is repositioning LL Riforma as a more versatile design tool, allowing optimal fine-tuning in the most demanding of design environments. Currently going through extended loops of drawing, using and re-drawing, it is expected to be finalised for a library release in November 2025.
In the meantime, please visit Linetomorrow for very advanced beta versions of LL Riforma Flex. We expect to continuously update files as progress is being made.
Coincidentally, NORM are opening their exhibition Real Intentions, Fake Occurrences at Galerie Nicola von Senger, Limmatstrasse 275, 8005 Zürich, on Friday, 28 March, from 7pm. Lines Surfaces, a publication designed by NORM, accompanies the show and is available at the gallery. The exhibition continues through 17 May 2025.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV.

If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
