A quirky yet classic semi-slab type family derived from 19th-Century gravestones in the Green-Wood Cemetery of Brooklyn, NY. The core inspiration is a brownstone monument for the Grinnell family, which appears to have been carved in various stages between 1852–1918, as many monuments in Green-Wood are shared by families over time.
Lang is an exploration of how to keep the charming personality of the original lettering while expanding it into a fully-featured typeface. Lang includes a classic set of slab-serif uppercase letters with a lowercase that has a simplified, optimistic yet sturdy, semi-slab construction. The family includes a weight range that transitions from a hefty Black down to a delicate Thin. These weights are then accompanied by a semi-script Italic, which picks up on themes present in other 19th-century monuments in the cemetery. The Italics also feature optional swash caps that can lend another layer of ornamentation to designs.
Lang is a prerelease family. You can buy it now for a discount, and you will get future improvements for free, for life.

Prerelease Info AT Lang
AT Lang is a prerelease family: you can get it today for a discounted price, and you will receive free updates as it grows and improves in the future.
Why call it a prerelease? There are still things being actively figured out and worked on, and it is subject to design changes in future version updates. But, it is available now because it offers a lot of value already. We also believe that often, the best way to learn is by working in public. In that spirit, if you have any questions or ideas, please reach out!
If you would like to see further details and follow the project, check it out on Future Fonts, a fantastic service for finding and supporting prerelease fonts from amazing designers.
You can buy AT Lang here or from Future Fonts – either way, you will ultimately be buying the same fonts and Licensing. On this website, you can buy either the the full family or individual styles. On Future Fonts, you can buy only the full family, but the upgrade experience is a little more streamlined.
