About the family


Tailwind is a rounded geometric sans serif inspired by the friendly airline branding and travel graphics of the 1970s aviation era. Drawing influence from classic airline logotypes, the design combines soft rounded terminals with clean geometric structure to create a typeface that feels both retro and refreshingly modern. The smooth curves and open letterforms give Tailwind an approachable and optimistic tone, making it ideal for travel branding, lifestyle packaging, user interfaces, editorial layouts, and modern retro design. Its distinctive rounded geometry channels the spirit of vintage airline identity systems while remaining highly adaptable to contemporary design environments. The family includes six fonts across three weights with matching small caps versions, Light, Regular, and Black. Each font contains an extended multilingual Latin character set including capitals, lowercase, small caps, numerals, punctuation, and symbols, providing strong international language support. Tailwind brings together retro aviation charm and modern geometric clarity, offering designers a versatile rounded sans that works beautifully across branding, editorial, and digital design.

About Grype

Grype began as a grunge type outfit for a short-lived time under the independent designer Charles Leroux. It was acquired by Astigmatic (AOETI) in 2016 and has since transitioned under the team of Brian J. Bonislawsky and Jim Lyles into a type foundry that produces font families inspired by corporate, band, and other logotypes and branding. And we still have retained some of the early pepperings of grunge typography from the library to boot.Grype expands on branding logotypes and makes them into full fledged type identity kits.
