New Fonts Released in 2009

This year has started out fast. Two display fonts kicked things off in January and March. Ablati didn't come out until mid-August.

The First release of the year is a bold, condensed sans

Aerle Font 2009 Release

A new heavy, small x-height sans
that is wonderful for header use

Aerle has condensed caps, mid-level small caps, and a lowercase with a small x-height that maintains the width of the caps. It is designed for display and header use, coupled with Aramus or Amitale for body work.

Maximum x-height for impact!

Abrect Font Speciman

This font has a kick! In the light of my recent font posting, I've made this one more "hand-drawn" in appearance. It is an experiment in how far I can push the x-height. For Abrect that is 78% 0f the font height (ascender to descender) and 70% of the point size (including the built-in leading needed to make this font useable.

I had gone quite a bit further with an 85% x-height, but the readability issues were too severe. Abrect, as it stands is a very useable font font — especially for colored subheads that commonly need a little extra punch.

I hope you like it!

The 2nd font of 2009 is a sparkly hoot!

Bling Font Released 2009

This one's just fun. Oh yea, it's got bling, but it's also a good-looking deco type of font and reads really well for it's size.

Aramus Font: an elegant, readable serif typeface

This is the new font family developed out of Aramus. These new serif typefaces are readable & graceful — part of my development of a series of book families. Aramus was very popular for a single font release of a text font. This new book font family retains the looseness of the original with radically different font metrics and many shape “corrections”.

In fact, Artimas continues a genuine new path for the foundry

This new font family for book design continues a turn toward more “traditional” x-heights of around a third of the point size.The Artimas print production font family is six new OpenType Pro fonts with Caps, lowercase, small caps, & figures to go with each of those character sets. There are many ligatures, a few swashes, fractions, numerators, denominators, and ordinals to infinity. This family of fonts is a joy to read and easy to use for text or display.
