The MyFonts newsletter for popular new fonts

Each month, MyFonts editorial team selects its Rising Stars from
the best-selling fonts on our constantly changing Hot New Fonts
list. As we choose the best-selling fonts from various genres, this
newsletter is a pretty reliable barometer of trends in type. This
month s selection is a case in point: the four families featured
represent four popular genres
from whimsical display suite to
modernist sans. The section of promising text fonts is particularly
interesting this month: it s probably the first time we re not
featuring a single sans-serif text font. Each of these families is a
smart and contemporary variety on the oldstyle book face
modest machines for reading , but without a trace of nostalgia.
Enjoy!

This Month s Rising Stars

Last month we interviewed Carlos Fabin Camargo Guerrero of

Colombia s Andinistas for our monthly Creative Characters series.
One family that was prominently featured was Camargo s latest,
Cereal. It is a suite of lively hand-drawn script and display faces,
with a load of shadow effects, banners, dingbats and catchwords
thrown in for good measure. Taken as a whole, the family exudes a
cozy, homely shabbiness. The various styles can be used together
to create informal layouts, but also work well individually. This
collection will be very much at home on posters, personal
stationery, book covers and magazine layouts.

Possibly the most unusual and striking text family of recent times
is Fazeta by Slovakia s Andrej Diene . It is an ambitious project,
offering three optically optimized versions for use in different sizes
captions, body text, and headlines. With its vertical thick-thin
contrast it is a sort of contemporary Didone, but it manages to
steer clear of the usual rigid look of this category. Inspired by
typefaces from 1960s Czechoslovakia
from designers such as

Josef Tfa and Vojtech Preissig

the typeface has sharply-cut
details and utterly rational optical solutions, combined with
classical proportions. The designer speaks of a naked cold
expression without emotions , but don t be fooled: the design is
not as stern as that may sound in spite of its willful character its
effect is not unfriendly. With 1,140 glyphs per font (including
mathematical symbols, arrows and borders) the family is
marvelously versatile.

The Frost series from Fenotype is built around a well-drawn,

confident advertising script with strong contrasts. Besides the lively
connected script in three weights, the family comes with ornament
and banner sets and separate caps and small caps, resulting in a
versatile family of compatible fonts. Influenced by hand-lettering
and sign painting from the 1950s and 1960s, Frost s appearance is
more polished and regular to better suit contemporary design
trends. Frost s connected script fonts are equipped with automatic
ligatures and three or more alternatives for each basic letter,
allowing the user to create a personalized layout with a perfect
flow. As usual an application with full OpenType functionality is the
ideal environment to get the most out of the smart font family.
Frost is on sale until February 21st, 2015

Galano Classic from Rene Bieder is the latest in a series of releases

inspired by the classic grotesques of the early twentieth century.
Designed as a companion to Bieder s Galano Grotesque family,
Galano Classic is informed by the geometric faces of the early
twentieth century. But instead of attempting another
reinterpretation of the geometric genre, this subfamily prefers to
linger in the past, flirting with modernist proportions, and sporting
details such as the long stretched leg of uppercase R and the
traditionally shaped lowercase g . Many of Galano Grotesque s
characters were redesigned from the ground up for the Classic
variety; it also has more alternative characters, ligatures and
OpenType features. With ten weights with matching italics, each
containing 555 glyphs, Galano Classic is an ambitious subfamily;
while it was planned to be the display version of Galano Grotesque,
it also works perfectly well in small sizes and long text passages.
Galano Classic is on sale until February 15th 2015, so go grab it
quick!

Text fonts of the month

Typesetting for books, magazines or annual reports requires font
families with special qualities: excellent readability, a generous
range of weights with italics and small caps, multiple figure sets
(lining, oldstyle, table) and ample language coverage. Here is a
selection of recent, high-quality text typefaces.

Like all of Hoftype s type families, the new Mangan is a trustworthy

modern workhorse. Designer Dieter Hofrichter is a master
craftsman who manages to add something new to each genre and
sub-genre he tackles. With Mangan he has found a delicate balance
between classic elegance and contemporary efficiency; the result is
a vivid family with a high degree of functionality. The Mangan
family comes in seven weights plus italics, and is well suited for
ambitious typography. All weights contain small caps, ordinals,
ligatures, and multiple figure styles with matching currency
symbols, plus a useful set of arrows.
Mangan is on sale until March 2nd, 2015.

Dutch designer Gerard Unger is one of the most original minds in

contemporary type design. He started his career in a time when the
challenges of new type rendering technologies demanded smart
answers. His 1975 text font Demos was just that: an unorthodox,
personal exercise in legibility under less-than-ideal conditions.
Linotype s Demos Next typeface family is a complete revision and
expansion to Unger s classic. This new version introduces subtle
changes to character shapes, proportions and spacing, optimizing
the design for today s technology. The new family has six weights
plus italics and includes small caps and oldstyle figures, making it
a versatile toolkit for complex design projects.

Leo is a new family from Dutchman Hans van Maanen, produced in

collaboration with Canada Type s Patrick Griffin. The family was
designed as an economic text face for demanding editorial
typography. Designed with the explicit intent of relaying complex
information without calling attention to itself, Leo avoids
expressivity and was built with as little ornamentation as possible.
Its italics, rather than following traditional models with very diverse
shapes, have a regularity that is closely related to the stance and
rhythm of their roman counterparts. Each of its fonts contains over
700 glyphs and supports the vast majority of Latin languages; they
come with built-in small caps, multiple figure styles, and optional
long descenders for optimal line space management.

News Round-Up
In this section we pick out interesting news snippets from MyFonts
own kitchen and from the greater world of fonts, lettering and
typography.
TypeCon comes to Denver

This year s edition of TypeCon, the North American get-together of

type designers and typography buffs, will come to a region the

conference hasn t visited before: the American South-West. For
visitors from the Americas as well as Europe this is a great occasion
to visit Denver as well as the Great Outdoors of Colorado; for
designers and students from the region, a unique chance to meet
their heroes in type design and research. TypeCon 2015 takes place
from August 12 through 16, but there s a reason why we re
announcing it this early. The success of the event depends to a large
extent on the commitment of its volunteers, and now is the time to
sign up. Those willing to invest time and energy into this highquality conference can contact its initiators, the Society of
Typographic Aficionados (SoTA) via the website.
