New FontFonts at FontShop

It goes without saying that I am a huge fan of FontFont’s type catalogue. So I was rather pleased to see this fontfeed from Fontshop. The FF Unit super family has gotten an new member, FF Unit Slab. I’ve comment before about the resurgence of slabs recently. It nice to see such a high quality slab.  I’m always impressed with the work of  Christian Schwartz, Erik Spiekermann, and Kris Sowersby.  FF Meta serif was nice.

FF Unit Slab - nice!

Another Slab worth mentioning is Mitja Miklavic’s FF Tisa. Thin and Light weights have been added to regular, med, and bold.

TypeTogether releases Edita

By On July 28, 2009 In Blog With No Comments Permanent Link to TypeTogether releases EditaPermalink

TypeTogether the foundry that brought us the highly popular Skolar, has released the new workhorse face Edita.  From TypeTogether.

Edita is a gentle typeface, humanistic in concept yet with a contemporary feel, where softness and fluidity play a very important role. This can be seen especially in its italics, which are loosely based on handwriting.This book typeface family is intended to be used in books where text is set together with photographs and other graphic elements. However, Edita is a general book typeface, versatile enough to be used in many other contexts, from novels to promotion material.Edita’s large character set, covering most languages which use Latin script, and styles give the designer the possibility to work with a big typographic palette, allowing complex typesetting with several levels of information.

TypeTrust releases Breuer Condensed

Saw this at Typetrust yesterday. Silas Dilworth’s excellent Breuer typeface had added a condensed version. Breur Text always seemed to me to be a more versatile Klavika.

Breuer Condensed — 8 weights on sale for $144.
