Known for experimental and typographic excellence, Spin has developed three fonts released on F37×.
At a glance F37 Tangental Times appear to share some similarities to F37 Flick, in particular the bifurcated serifs. But that is where the similarities end. The most notable feature of F37 Tangental Times are the curve-less round letter forms. Made from multiple short straight segments that give the font an interesting crude feel in large sizes. When used small, the angularity disappears into smooth curves. This crudeness is offset by the surprisingly elegant and humanist touches to the the letter forms. F37 Tangental Times comes in four weights from Thin to Regular.

The Designer
SPIN is the creative output of a London-based studio which has been rotating between the poles of art and design since 1992.
This revolution has so far been televised, animated, printed, photographed, pixelated and painted, but rather than offer singular or static solutions, their vision is for an ongoing dialogue between a conceptual practice and its many applications in the real world. In both the virtual and physical realms, SPIN push and play with such boundaries when making work for the halls of commerce and retail, or for the walls of exhibitions. Always innovative and responsive, but constantly enquiring, SPIN create organic visual languages, lending design impetus to their art projects, while removing the type from typography and giving it a new face.
