Ballinger was designed by Max Phillips and published by Signal. Ballinger includes 16 designs and household package options. p > Ballinger began life as a single-weight exclusive typeface called baasic, designed for Dublin-based design workplace aad. baasic was planned as a plain, hardworking monstrous: a simple tool for clear communication. We have actually developed it into a fully-featured eight-weight household with matching italics. Sources include early 20th century jobbing sanses like Morris Benton's News Gothic and Candia, a 70s-era typewriter face Josef Müller-Brockmann created for Olivetti, which had abnormally deep points that added energy to letters like m and n.

The family takes its name from Raymond A. Ballinger, the excellent mid-century American designer, author of 'Lettering Art in Modern Use,' and champ of sophistication and readability. Ballinger has large counters and a generous x-height. Letters like a, e, and s open out gradually as they move from Thin to Black to maintain ample apertures, even in the darkest weights. Semi-oldstyle figures are readily available, along with case-sensitive punctuation and delimiters. Italics include subtle ogee curves to provide heat and energy to the page or screen.

And, naturally, it pairs well with its sister face, Ballinger Mono.
