Labor & Wait is a digital type foundry based in the Hudson River Valley, in New York State. We are the publisher of the fonts released under the Constellation banner: Aero, Apex, Brooklyn, Cassiopeia, Copernicus, Cosmica, and Polaris. These types were previously available exclusively via vllg.com, which we ran from 2005-23. We design custom type and typography as bspk, working with esteemed colleagues and clients such as 2x4, ADP, American Museum of Natural History, Mary Ellen Carroll, Cooper Hewitt: Smithsonian Design Museum, Havas, Maharam, Pentagram Design, City of Seattle, Snickers, and Syracuse University, amongst others. In September 2023, we closed the doors of vllg.com after 18 years. We are very proud of the work we did to bring the work of a supremely talented group of young designers to the wider world in the early days of e-commerce. With Labor & Wait, we are focusing on one of our passions: designing original types for publication. This pursuit sits alongside our custom type practice, and the two inform and influence each other. Our work extends to the creation of novel forms, utilization of software advances, and revivification of historical models. We look forward to diffusing more and varied projects, including singles and remixes.

Blackletra is a digital type foundry run by Brazilian type designer Daniel Sabino, currently based in São Paulo. Established in 2012, the foundry develops custom and retail typefaces as well as lettering and logotypes. The company’s typefaces combines historical interest with calligraphic influences and sometimes unusual ideas. Daniel Sabino’s first typeface, Karol, was awarded the Certificate of Excellence from the New York Type Directors Club in 2013. Two years later, Haltrix received the same accolade. Blackletra’s work has also been recognized by LAD Awards, Bienal Tipos Latinos, Red Dot Award, Brasil Design Awards, Premios Laus, Morisawa and Bienal da ADG.
