The Aeroplan serif font family is the first by type designer and crafts-maker Nina Faulhaber. With a history in sculpting, she wanted to create a typeface with a tactility and presence that would set the tone in a modern publication or when representing a bygone era. During her type design course in Augsburg, Germany, Nina took the familiarity of a forgotten, custom font she found in a 1916 book about aircraft engines and updated it to work in printed magazines, books, and on digital screens as only a sculptor could.
Aeroplan now has eight styles (four uprights with italics) designed for paragraph text, with another ten Titling styles that will be released later this year to complete the family. It is completed with a variable font.
