The Lock Superfamily is a collection of versatile typefaces that masterfully blends the organic qualities of broad-nib calligraphy with the precision of industrial design. Designed by Mark Bloom and Diana Ovezea, the family includes four unique styles – Lock Sans, Lock Sans Stencil, Lock Serif, and Lock Serif Stencil – offering a dynamic toolkit for modern typographic projects.

Lock Sans and Lock Serif provide clean, adaptable designs with subtle calligraphic warmth, perfect for corporate, editorial, and branding projects. Their matching stencil counterparts – Lock Sans Stencil and Lock Serif Stencil – introduce playful cutouts for an industrial, experimental edge, making them ideal for standout headlines, posters, and creative layouts. With matching proportions, the stencil and non-stencil styles can be seamlessly interchanged without affecting text flow.

Each sub-family is available in six weights, from ExtraLight to Black, and includes alternates for key glyphs like ‘a,’ ‘Q,’ and ‘R,’ along with arrows, circled numbers, and alternate punctuation. The character set spans Latin Extended A, supporting most European languages written with the Latin script.

With its unique combination of calligraphic roots and modern minimalism, the Lock Superfamily invites designers to explore its possibilities. Whether you need the elegance of Lock Serif, the bold industrialism of Lock Sans Stencil, or the playful contrasts between them, Lock offers endless opportunities to create distinctive and cohesive designs.

FREE variable fonts and a type specimen book are included with all Full Family purchases.
