These font articles are rare but I try to gather in them the best new fonts that are launched since the last article or haven’t been included in the previous ones.
Okay Type: Harriet
A rational serif family, a contemporary reflection of the serifs popular in mid—20th—century American and English design.
Hoefler & Frere-Jones: Tungsten
The New Tungstens, a set of four different widths, each in eight weights. A compact and sporty sans serif that’s disarming instead of pushy — not just loud, but persuasive.
Jörg Schmitt: Ingrid Mono
The birth of the monospaced types dates back to the past. There was a need for the creation of typesets for typewriters. The difficulty was to align the different glyphs in the same width.

A mixed collection of interpretations conjuring a late nineteenth century American pen script style.

Monokrom: Satyr
Contrasts convex with concave curves, sculpting letterforms instead of adhering to the traces of a physical tool.
Positype: Anago
Soft, ample letterforms are casually constructed and the end result produces a typeface that changes color as it varies in size — allowing the type family to work well in both text and display settings as long as attention is given to size.
Positype: Macha
It’s no-nonsense construction bears many influences from Gill Sans and Frutiger while stubbornly blending my own humanist touch.
Borutta: Wood Type Collection
Wood Type Collection from Borutta is a set of wonderful, warm and weathered hand made typefaces. The inspiration for this collection comes from a wooden letter blocks and other old technologies used for printing.
