A few months later, the designer that sits next to me was in charge of designing an exhibit about fetishes for the Museum of Sex in New York. Kids loved the Black Italic with a playful, thick, outer stroke, while adults responded positively to Omnes Light set in all uppercase, dignified and elegant. Last year we designed the identity for a non-profit organization devoted to fighting childhood obesity and we used Omnes for each kind of application and audience without missing a beat.

If you can look at Omnes Black Italic and not feel joy, you have Yoohoo running through your veins and you should get that checked. I think, actually, it wasn’t until this past year - when Joshua Darden released the droolingly sweet expanded set containing a range of thins a luscious Black, plus italics for all! - that I went head over heels. Regardless of time specificity, it has been on my mind for a couple of years and with almost every new project I start I turn on Omnes to see if there is a glimmer of hope that I will be able to use it. Maybe it was around that time when I was comparing its quirky boldness to that of my other love, Cooper Black.

I can’t remember when I first fell in love with Omnes.
