- Stag
- Stag began as a commissioned slab serif headline family for the US edition of Esquire magazine. It expanded into a large multi-part collection comprising a sans companion, a rounded sans, a stencil variant, and a dot variant.
- Stag, Granger, and Gingrich for Esquire
- Between 2005 and 2016, creative director David Curcurito commissioned three successive custom type families for Esquire. Stag began as a slab serif and expanded into sans, stencil, and rounded sans variants over six years; Stag Sans was later replaced by Graphik. Granger, designed by Kai Bernau and Susana Carvalho, was intended to replace both Stag and Mercury; it was later reworked and released publicly as Algebra. Gingrich, a condensed high-contrast serif in four optical sizes, was created for the magazine's 1000th issue and remained in use until Curcurito's departure.
