[Rosina Sample Text](
Geometric fonts are often plain and made to blend in, but Rosina by Northern Block stands out. With features reminiscent of the Art Deco period, it is more suited to display uses than extensive blocks of text. Put it in your heading or magazines and watch your designs come to life.

[Kayto Sample Text](
Brush scripts are hot these days but often look and feel the same. Kayto is different. With a playful, East Asian flavor, it stands out and wants to have fun. The included hand drawn and sans styles compliment the bold script, giving you a full palette to create a unique, hip design.

[Massimo Sample Text](
Semi-serif has always been a strange category, but Massimo by Borutta fits it very well. With very small and pointed serifs, it still has an overall sans feel, but is more suited for display uses. The dots and Tâs are especially unique, and could fit a variety of niches.

[Whatâs Your Take on Comic Sans?](

[Whatâs Your Take on Comic Sans?](
Itâs either loved or loathed, but Vincent Connare, former Microsoft employee and creator of Comic Sans is proud of his work. According to him, âType should do exactly what itâs intended to do,â and he argues here that Comic Sans has met that goal admirably. When itâs used in ways that were unintended, thatâs where the problems start.
[Preserving Endangered Alphabets](
Â
[Preserving Endangered Alphabets](
Several years ago, Tim Brookes set out with a unique goal, to play an active part in the preservation of languages and scripts on the verge of going extinct. Through creative wood carvings and innovative educational materials made using the endangered scripts, heâs helping support the culture and heritage of marginalized people groups.
[Chromatic Type Evolution](
Â
[Chromatic Type Evolution](
No stranger to layered fonts himself, Jamie Clarke interviews Mark van Wageningen, founder of the Novo Typo Foundry and designer of chromatic type. Together they explore the current state of color fonts (which Mark describes as âthe new italic, the new boldâ), and look to the future of full browser and desktop application support for chromatic type.
