Aether

We designed Aether, the debut typeface from Mischen Typefoundry. Aether is a neo-humanist geometric sans comprising twelve weights from Hairline to Ultra, distilling the classical skeleton of twentieth-century types such as Johnston and Rotis while reframing them with a contemporary geometric sensibility — reinterpreted through our own lens. Production runs on Glyphs alongside a custom workflow designed around MCP, tightening the loop between drawing and verification so that every weight carries consistent detail and legibility across the entire family. The planned OpenType feature set spans Stylistic Sets for a, g, G, f, j, y, and the ampersand, alongside Old-style / Tabular / Lining Figures, Fractions, Small Capitals, Slashed Zero, and Case-sensitive forms — covering needs from editorial typesetting to information design — and is being developed in parallel with a variable font on a 50–950 wght axis.
