“These new releases enable creative professionals to incorporate
inventive and attention-grabbing type into their projects,” said
Tom Rickner, director of Monotype Studio Design. “The extensions as
well as the completely new designs add to the creative options
available to creative professionals working across a range of
projects, and I’m confident that designers will find ways of using
them that we haven’t ever considered.”
Each of the recent releases are available to customers through
Monotype’s Mosaic™ application, a cloud-based service that provides
enterprises with an easy way to discover, manage, share and deploy
fonts. Individual font licenses for these designs are also
available through MyFonts.com.
Ariata™ Designed by Malou Verlomme of the Monotype
Studio, Ariata is three typeface families in one. The Text weights
are sturdy designs that perform as well in blocks of copy as they
do in the occasional headline. The display weights are delicate yet
confident, and shine in large sizes. The Stencil versions are an
eye-catching and provocative alternative to traditional designs.
Each version is available in four weights, ranging from regular to
black, making for a family that is comfortable taking on a wide
variety of tasks. Space-economical and distinctly original, Ariata
easily creates commanding headlines, pull-quotes and subheads.
Packaging, game branding, posters, book jackets and advertising
design are all also within its comfort zone.
FF Neuwelt™ FF Neuwelt, from Jens Gehlhaar, is open,
inviting, legible and handsome. Combining the straightforward
clarity of a geometric sans with a welcoming personality, FF
Neuwelt’s eight display and text weights, vast range of alternates
and extended character set make for a family with few limitations.
FF Neuwelt is a natural for interactive design, performing well on
both large digital displays and small screens. Counters are
generous and apertures are open, making it a great choice when
setting text as microcopy or in short blocks where quick and
accurate comprehension is the goal. Even the heaviest weights
translate well to on-screen reading. FF Neuwelt also speaks with
authority in large sizes on big screens. FF Neuwelt is well suited
for long-form text, captions, editorial, packaging,
point-of-purchase design – as well as extensive branding
projects.
FF Kievit Serif® FF Kievit Serif blends oldstyle design
traits and a 21st-century aesthetic into a clean and
straightforward suite of typefaces. Drawn as a collaboration
between Michael Abbink and Paul van der Laan, FF Kievit Serif is a
natural extension to the other designs in the FF Kievit super
family, which also includes FF Kievit and FF Kievit Slab. Large
counters, a generous x-height and ample apertures ensure that FF
Kievit Serif translates well to both physical and digital
environments. FF Kievit Serif is available in carefully defined
weights, ranging from light to black, and the regular, book and
bold weights are designed for long-form text copy. Ligatures,
several suites of numbers and small caps are also available.
Avenir® Arabic This Arabic extension to type design
legend Adrian Frutiger’s Avenir family proudly incorporates a
timeless geometric style with the humanistic nuances that made the
original typeface so famous. Designed by Nadine Chahine, Avenir
Arabic features six weights ranging from light to black. The
typeface is highly legible and continues Avenir’s tradition of
providing a harmonious and sensible appearance when used in both
text and headlines. The typeface supports OpenType features for
Arabic, and includes Windows codepage 1256 Arabic character set
support.
Expansion of the Lucida® Super Family From Charles
Bigelow and Kris Holmes of design studio Bigelow & Holmes comes
an impressive and ambitious expansion of the Lucida super family of
fonts. The new additions include:
- Lucida Grande: A humanist sans serif design with a large
x-height, clear letterforms and economic spacing, Lucida Grande’s
legibility makes it a great choice for printing and screen
displays, even at small sizes. The Lucida Grande family includes
Latin, Greek and Cyrillic alphabets.
- Lucida Grande Mono: This design matches the weight, vertical
proportions and character of Lucida Grande, but with fixed-width
functionality that has made its design popular in a range of
practical applications, including programming, terminal emulation
and typewriter styling. The Lucida Grande Mono family includes
Latin, Greek and Cyrillic alphabets.
- Lucida Console: Created for on-screen console and terminal
emulation windows that needed monospaced fonts with sturdy letter
shapes, Lucida Console has simple, clear, robust letterforms, a big
x-height and economical fitting. The font takes up less space than
traditional typewriter and monospaced fonts, and its compact look
and active italic version appeals to creative professionals for a
wide variety of uses, including in games and digital devices. The
Lucida Console family includes Latin, Greek and Cyrillic
alphabets.
- Lucida Calligraphy: Lucida Calligraphy is a cursive script
typeface family designed for use on screen and in print
environments. Originally released in one weight, the family has
expanded to five weights, from thin to black. The Lucida
Calligraphy family has a standard character set that supports the
basic range of Latin languages.
- Lucida Handwriting: A casual, connected script designed for
smooth reading on screens and in print, Lucida Handwriting’s
relaxed personality and vigorous energy sends a distinctive
message. Lucida Handwriting is now available in five weights, from
thin to black. The Lucida Handwriting family has a standard
character set that supports the basic range of Latin
languages.
