Rain Foundry

Rain Foundry is the type foundry of Carl Benedict Rain, and its home page is a moody, elegant showcase of his letterforms. Set against a deep midnight-navy backdrop, warm cream serifs introduce the collection while flashes of magenta and gold pick out links and details. Specimen cards below sample the faces in running text, letting the typefaces demonstrate their own character and rhythm. The result is atmospheric and unmistakably crafted — a page that treats type design as the whole event. Refined and confident, it is a lovely piece of typography-led web design.
