“…Mark Jamra […] specializes in designing contemporary, utilitarian classics. From signage to footnotes, from bookplates to billboards, these typefaces are simple, elegant, and functional.”
– Sam McMillan, Communication Arts magazine, May/June 2007
“I’ve used TypeCulture fonts in several books, a quarterly magazine, and numerous shortrun and signage applications. I’m amazed at how well they work in a variety of situations. I used the Expo Sans family in all three editions of a large technical book, and it met every need, from fractions, to charts, to complicated captions.”
– Tim McCreight, Art Director, Brynmorgen Press
“I was looking for a complementary typeface to a logotype I was developing. After choosing Expo Sans as my secondary face, I was very happy with how it supported the overall identity system. It worked well both as 8 point type in printed bus schedules, as well as in 1 foot-high letters on road signage. It was clear, direct and distinct, while not being over stylized and disruptive to the information it was conveying.
What I was not prepared for is how much I grew to respect and enjoy working with Expo Sans. Contained within its clarity is a unique personality which keeps it from becoming generic like so many other sans serif faces. I have come to think of Expo Sans in much the same way as I have always thought of Gill Sans. It has the same ability to project a quirk of personality without becoming obtrusive and cloying. I have started using Expo Sans as my studio face on my own materials and continue to discover subtle pleasures in its forms.”
– David Puelle, Principal, Puelle Design
“Expo Sans is elegant and reads well both large and small – very useful.”
– Jeremy Moser, architect
“Congratulations on the TDC award [for Expo Sans]. It is very hard these days to design a Sans that is not just another of the same, but you’ve done some clever work.”
– Victor Gaultney, designer of the Gentium typeface family (Thanks, Victor!)
“My publishing company used Tacitus for our debut publication. Tacitus elevated it from an ordinary art book to an elegant and sophisticated art object.”
– Abby Johnston, publisher, Upala Press
