In the summer of 2010 we were commissioned by Daniel Baer of Studio Baer, to develop a typeface for Centrefold Magazine No. 6. The aim was to produce a headline typeface with enough distinction and strength to carry through the issue. Centrefold changes designer with each issue, so it was important to create a distinct typographic voice for this particular output.

In early 2011 we decided to re-visit this bespoke typeface and extend it into a single weight commercial release. Whilst still maintaining the essence of the initial intention we re-purposed the single cut into a more refined commercial release. Fast-forward to 2017, and as our overall commercial library is both simultaneously expanded and re-mastered, Transcript moves with it.

Extending and expanding Transcript to a further 5 weights, 14 styles in both a proportional and monospaced families, as well as extra language support to include both Cyrillic and Greek scripts.
