[Kokomo Breeze]( #13 Best Selling New Font: [Kokomo Breeze]( by Nicky Laatz Kokomo Breeze highlights: - 1 font in the family - Packed with natural-looking ligatures and alternate characters for both upper and lower case - Pair it with a bold tall sans serif font, or a classy serif to add another whole new dimension to this very versatile marker font. Kokomo Breeze was designed to keep a naturally handwritten marker-style look , while still maintaining some subtle inky marker imperfections on its edges , to keep in line with a more realistic, yet very legible look. Great for headlines, bold branding, classy packaging, eye-catching callouts and stand-out advertising, Kokomo Breeze is designed to be your jack of many trades. [Kokomo Breeze]([$35.00]([|]([$24.50](| 1 font]( [Kokomo Breeze]( Q1) What inspired you to design this typeface? Were you designing for a specific use case or customer? Or were you more focused on a particular artistic vision? Or some combination of the both? One of the things I love about font design is the tremendous variety - an infinite amount of lettering styles, the different pens, inks, and medias to take inspiration from and create an infinite number of fonts. I like to challenge myself with designing something new and unexplored. This can come in one of two ways- One is just going with my creative flow in the moment along with my large selection of pens, inks and drawing tools. Often, it’s just choosing one, and trying out a new style of lettering that leads to the birth of a new font. The second is seeing a style out in the wild that just really speaks to me: on a pretty hand lettered wedding invitation, in a vintage magazine, scrolling through Pinterest, on a postcard - inspiration is everywhere. Q2) Walk us through the process of designing this typeface. Was there anything different about it, compared to your usual process? Did it come along more easily than others, or were there unique challenges? Kokomo breeze was designed using a brand new 'full-of-ink' sharpie and, instead of regular paper, I used smooth glossy Xerox paper as the medium as I didn’t want too much texture and I wanted the pen to flow quickly and easily. I started out by writing out words to get a feel for the style, then I refined it by doing several re-takes for each letter. I selected the letters that look the best, and then scanned and digitized them. The only challenge was choosing the letters. Q3) Looking ahead, are there new projects you're excited about? Anything you haven't tried yet but are eager to explore? I usually like to alternate between casual and formal fonts. A more formal one is probably up next, but the daily onslaught of inspiration doesn’t always stick to this idea. Watch this space :) [Shop Kokomo Breeze]( [TT Trailers]( #14 Best Selling New Font: [TT Trailers]( by TypeType TT Trailers highlights: - 11 fonts in the family. - 9 styles, a variable version of the font, and 1 font with icons - The main styles consist of 1078 glyphs and have a broad language support - Includes a large number of ligatures and alternates The starting point of the TT Trailers project was the idea to develop a new generation of narrow typefaces for use in movie credits and posters. Our portfolio already had a modular geometric sans TT Bluescreens, so the new project from the very beginning was in a humanist spirit. [TT Trailers]([$150.00]([|]([$75.00]([|]([11 fonts]( [TT Trailers]( Q1) What inspired you to design this typeface? Were you designing for a specific use case or customer? Or were you more focused on a particular artistic vision? Or some combination of the both? The original idea for TT Trailers was to make a narrow typeface for use in movie posters and captions. Typically, such fonts are made strictly geometric, but I wanted to get away from strict geometry and try to make a narrow humanist font, with a closed aperture of characters and noticeable contrast. In addition, I wanted to keep the amount of internal white in the transition from thin styles to bold. Q2) Walk us through the process of designing this typeface. Was there anything different about it, compared to your usual process? Did it come along more easily than others, or were there unique challenges? The main difference between this project and other projects is that for TT Trailers we made our first variable font. We had never worked with variable fonts before, and we had to learn everything from scratch and solve a bunch of problems inherent in creating variable fonts. Q3) Looking ahead, are there new projects you're excited about? Anything you haven't tried yet but are eager to explore? If we talk about more precise things, then I would like to draw a beautiful true italic. [Shop TT Trailers]( [Lumios Marker]( #15 Best Selling New Fonts: [Lumios Marker]( by My Creative Land Lumios Marker highlights: - 2 fonts in the family - It has both extended Latin and basic Cyrillic support - As a compliment to the script I also created Lumios Design Elements font that can be useful in brand design, greeting cards design etc - Both fonts were carefully traced by hand and have clean edges Lumios Marker is a perfect companion to Lumios Typewriter, sharing the same soft curves and clean letter edges. [Lumios Marker]([$34.99]([|]([$24.49]([| 2]([fonts]( [Lumios Marker]( Q1) What inspired you to design this typeface? Were you designing for a specific use case or customer? Or were you more focused on a particular artistic vision? Or some combination of the both? I got a set of new markers and was trying out how they behave with different paper texture, angles and sizes. At some point, I was happy with the results so I focused my enthusiasm on ligatures, both Latin and Cyrillic ones. Cyrillic ligatures are the most interesting and fun part, as I believe that only someone who speaks and writes Russian (Ukrainian) can create realistically looking pairs - lots of letters look nothing like in study books. Q2) Walk us through the process of designing this typeface. Was there anything different about it, compared to your usual process? Did it come along more easily than others, or were there unique challenges? The process of creating a script is always more or less the same - you write, you scan, you trace, you beautify, you print it out, you fix issues, you scan, you fix curves and voila - the font is pretty much ready :) Q3) Looking ahead, are there new projects you're excited about? Anything you haven't tried yet but are eager to explore? I’m trying not to abandon the Cyrillic language support in my fonts. So hopefully, there will be more of those. I’m also loving creating serif fonts. Even though it’s quite time consuming in terms of balance, thickness, forms etc., the results can be rewarding. [Shop Lumios Marker]( [FF Infra]( #16 Best Selling New Font: [FF Infra]( by FontFont FF Infra highlights: - 20 fonts in the family - FF Infra is available in 10 weights - OpenType® Pro fonts of FF infra have an extended character set supporting most Central European and many Eastern European languages - Each font also contains four sets of figures and a bevy of arrows FF Infra is Richter’s first commercial design for Monotype. We’re sure that you’ll find it as versatile and powerful as we do. [FF Infra]([$299.00]([|]([$149.50]([| 20]([fonts]( [FF Infra]( Q1) What inspired you to design this typeface? Were you designing for a specific use case or customer? Or were you more focused on a particular artistic vision? Or some combination of the both? My main goal was to create a strong but friendly grotesque that will work at large sizes, as well as in small text. I used clear letter shapes and linear strokes to build the basic characters. Open counters also make Infra warm and readable. The name “Infra” is also telling about the design. It’s rooted in “infrastructure” and the Latin word “infra,” which means behind or under. I wanted to create a typeface with a large suite of supporting typographic features. The design has small caps, superior lowercase, arrows, slashed zeros and many other glyphs. Q2) Walk us through the process of designing this typeface. Was there anything different about it, compared to your usual process? Did it come along more easily than others, or were there unique challenges? I was taught early in my career to sketch basic characters quickly and fine-tune them later. With this in mind, I tried many versions of the basic alphabet starting with x-height characters, ultimately creating over 20 styles. More detailed work was put into special glyphs like arrows and characters with ascenders and descenders. During these early test designs, I was able to finalize the basis of Infra and determine its ultimate character set. I also received excellent feedback from Andreas Frohloff and Bernd Volmer, which helped finalize the design. Q3) Looking ahead, are there new projects you're excited about? Anything you haven't tried yet but are eager to explore? I’m excited about drawing Cyrillic and Greek for Infra. It will make a great addition to the family. Because I spend a lot of time in Japan, I’m also keen to draw a Japanese version in the future and perhaps a serif style. [Shop FF Infra]( [Gopher]( #17 Best Selling New Font: [Gopher]( by Adam Ladd Gopher highlights: - 48 fonts in the family - Swash capitals - Stylistic alternates (a, J, I, 0) - Standard and discretionary ligatures Gopher is a reverse contrast, geometric sans serif typeface with Normal, Text, and Display families. The 48 included fonts in the complete family range from hairline to heavy, with italics. A variation in the amount of contrast is what distinguishes the three separate families, while allowing them to still work in harmony together. [Gopher]($150.00]([|]([$27.00]([|]([48]([fonts]( [Gopher]( Q1) What inspired you to design this typeface? Were you designing for a specific use case or customer? Or were you more focused on a particular artistic vision? Or some combination of the both? I wanted the design of Gopher to feel distinct, yet familiar. Altering the traditional contrast balance of a Geometric sans serifs by flipping the weight distribution between vertical and horizontal strokes gives it a more unique look and feel within the genre. While reverse contrast is not new, it is also not overly ubiquitous. The three family options provide different optical sizes and usages based primarily on degree of contrast—from the more subtle text to the more dramatic display versions. Gopher works great for branding, fashion, magazines, and more. Q2) Walk us through the process of designing this typeface. Was there anything different about it, compared to your usual process? Did it come along more easily than others, or were there unique challenges? Gopher started out as a relatively typical geometric sans serif following rules around proportions, spacing, overall shapes/forms, etc. One challenge was applying the reverse contrast rule to all of the characters, including numerals, punctation, and symbols. The simpler forms took to the reverse styling fairly easily (e.g. O, H), but the curve to straight joins in certain characters (e.g. n, r) took longer. The most difficult to resolve were the diagonal stroke characters (e.g. M, v, w, x) , as I needed to flip the typical left and right stroke weight difference and the narrowing/tapering of strokes as they come together. Overall, it took quite a bit of experimenting and tweaking. Q3) Looking ahead, are there new projects you're excited about? Anything you haven't tried yet but are eager to explore? Yes, I have a few rough ideas on paper (or vector tests). Most notably in development would be a sans serif and script hybrid mix. The other is a complementary hand-drawn script and sans font duo with contrasting condensed and wide proportions. [Shop Gopher]( [TT Tsars]( #18 Best Selling New Font: [TT Tsars]( by TypeType TT Tsars Highlights: - 20 fonts in the family - 5 separate subfamilies, each of which consists of 4 fonts - Each font contains 580 glyphs, except for the TT Tsars E subfamily, in which each font consists of 464 characters - Large number of ligatures (for Latin and Cyrillic alphabets) The TT Tsars font family is a collection of serif display titling fonts that are stylized to resemble the fonts of the beginning, the middle and the end of the XVIII century. The project is based on title fonts, that is, the fonts that were used to design book title pages. [TT Tsars]($189.00]([|]([$]([94.50]([|]([20]([fonts]( [TT Tsars]( Q1) What inspired you to design this typeface? Were you designing for a specific use case or customer? Or were you more focused on a particular artistic vision? Or some combination of the both? We wanted to supplement our font catalog with something historical and take the first steps towards reviving old typefaces. In addition to historical sets, there was room for experimentation in the TT Tsars family. We imagined how the Latin could look if it were formed under the influence of Peter’s civil script. This set is a cherry on the cake of the whole project. Q2) Walk us through the process of designing this typeface. Was there anything different about it, compared to your usual process? Did it come along more easily than others, or were there unique challenges? The difficulty was that the creation of sets for each historical milestone went on simultaneously. It was necessary to keep in mind a large amount of visual and theoretical information, and think about each glyph within the framework of five sets to observe through time the evolution of signs. Q3) Looking ahead, are there new projects you're excited about? Anything you haven't tried yet but are eager to explore? Now we have another historic project in development. This is a revitalization with an original interpretation of several fonts of the late 19th century at one of the St. Petersburg printing houses. In the process of working on such projects, you begin to understand that working with historical samples requires a special approach and high responsibility.

[Aktifo]([$]([260.00]([|]([$130.00]([|]([28]([fonts]( [Aktifo]( Q1) What inspired you to design this typeface? Were you designing for a specific use case or customer? Or were you more focused on a particular artistic vision? Or some combination of the both? When I started designing Aktifo, the considerations were based on customer needs in addition to the aesthetic approach. The aesthetic approach has more servings because for me this is a challenge, as I want typeface to answer the needs of every medium. Q2) Walk us through the process of designing this typeface. Was there anything different about it, compared to your usual process? Did it come along more easily than others, or were there unique challenges? As the first concept for Aktifo, I wanted a low x-height geometric grotesque sans serif with perfect circular curvature. The challenge was to make sure that it didn’t look proportionally awkward. Being the first typeface that I designed with many OpenType features, it was an ambitious idea to break up the rules. However, Aktifo can functionally address everyones needs. The two-story "G" character is a unique and powerful identity that has modern characteristics, contemporary of the genre. Overall, Aktifo is very easy to use, as it has beautiful proportions. Q3) Looking ahead, are there new projects you're excited about? Anything you haven't tried yet but are eager to explore? Of course! there are still many things that I want to explore and am very enthusiastic about new things. Every new typeface design comes with a new challenge and I am always eager to make things that I have never tried.
