Best Christmas Gifts for Font Fans
Article by Studio Ground Floor
Us typography enthusiasts are a unique bunch.
Perhaps you’ve overly-analytical of each new big-brand wordmark that comes out, or obsessed with the curves of a well-designed, 2-storey g, or enamored with the balance of a good kerning job, or always on the lookout for their next favorite typeface… Maybe you’re not at all, but your friend, partner, or family member is and you have no clue what to get them for Christmas.
After all, with the holidays fast approaching, now’s the time to find a present that speaks to your font-loving needs. Well, let us help with that.
Pangram Playground Keychain
Small but mighty, the Pangram Playground Keychain is the perfect stocking stuffer for any big-time type lover. Made from a ultra-satisfyingly-textured zinc alloy, the keychain is embossed with the Pangram Playground logomark (set in PP Playground for extra consistency), which is reversed on the flipside. It’s slick without being showy. A true class act. Buy it here
Enzo Mari Flip Calendar
Few designers are as timeless as Enzo Mari. Few products are as timeless as one’s he’s designed. And few calendars are as coveted as the Enzo Mari Flip Calendar. This functional masterpiece is a celebration of clean typography and simplicity. Designed in the 1960s, it remains as relevant today as ever, blending practicality with a modernist aesthetic. A true classic and designer staple. Buy it here
Dice Set
For creatives who like very nice things, this dice set is an absolute must. Unlike ordinary dice (boring, SNORE!), these polished, 304 stainless steel dice are engraved with numerals courtesy of Pangram Pangram’s fan-favourite release of 2024, PP Playground. Plus, you get a complimentary copy of PP Playground with every purchase. This is a collector’s edition of only 20, so move quickly! Buy it here
Previously Known As Tote Bag
Alright, so there are loads of tote bags out there, but I promise you (from personal experience), none are as useful and sick as this one. For starters, it’s massive. Secondly, it’s hardy, having been made from durable cotton, emblazoned with OT Neue Montreal Squeezed no less. It’ll be an instant favourite. Buy it here
Midori Notebooks
For those who, like us, write a lot, we can confidently say (from years of trial and error), that the Midori notebooks are THE notebook. Known for their quality paper and binding, Midori notebooks are the Platonic ideal of notebooks. Lay-flat, simple and stunning. SAY. NO. MORE! Buy it here

The PP32 Specimen Book celebrates the entire Pangram Pangram typeface catalogue in comprehensive detail. Whilst the physical copy is sold out (but keep your eyes peeled in 2025), the digital version is equally as inspiration. Buy it here
