41 / Brighten up your summer ☀️⛱
By Noemi Stauffer • Issue #41 • View online
Hi, there! 👋
We have a pretty cool new header image this week, which is a layered animated gif by Tyler Finck, typeset in his ETC Tourney, a new variable font that you can play around with at etc.supply.
Today’s issue features a handpicked selection of very solid sans serifs that were released recently, and limited time summer deals that you’ll find in the special offers section. Enjoy! – Noemi

Branding with Type published Beto last week, a typeface combining different features from over 300 years of serif design evolution. The outcome is a highly functional serif with a few contemporary notes, such as teardrop terminals that have been cut sharp on one side. Beto Grande, its display counterpart, boasts an increased contrast to convey elegance at large sizes.

New Foundry
Launched in November 2018, Detail Type is the foundry of Kamimura & Co., an independent design studio based in Japan. As you would expect from the clean and elegant work of the two brothers, their first retail release is a calm, sophisticated and noiseless sans serif. Unfortunately, it is not possible to license individual styles of Astro, but only the full family of 40 fonts.

New Releases
Gradient‚ the small independent foundry of Milos Mitrovic‚ has joined Village with two new typefaces‚ Linear Sans and Radial. A geometric-turned-humanist sans serif, Radial is available in five thick weights, from Regular to Heavy, plus a variable font, allowing you to set a custom weight or slant. Radial comes with support for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.

A massive new family spanning seven optical sizes, from XXX Condensed to X Wide, Staff is a sturdy and versatile neo-grotesk designed by Rui Abreu. Its mechanical look is complemented by a few slightly offbeat details, like the pointed apex on the M, the enlarged bowl on the a, and the vertically-cut tail on the Q. Note that you can try, or rent, any of Staff’s styles on Fontstand.

The latest release of Process Type, Indivisible, is a contemporary geometric type family from designer Eric Olson. Complete with seven weights (from Thin to Black) and matching italics, Indivisible is a clean and friendly sans serif with a subtle warmth. Given its outstanding readability, I see it as a great choice for long-form reading or other uses at small sizes.

Commercial Type released Ayer, a vast display font family originally designed for women’s fashion magazine W Magazine. It comes in three optical sizes, with Ayer Poster, the largest of these, featuring four very different kinds of italics: a standard matching italic, a Cursive with wild swashes, an aggressively stylistic Angular, and an unexpected Blackletter.

This daring sans serif is the latest work of Berlin / Helsinki-based foundry Schick Toikka. Available in three widths (Standard, Extended and Expanded) Lyyra combines symmetrical and mechanical letterforms into a typeface that conveys urgency. Perfect for identity work, Lyyra comes with diamond dots, although you can substitute them for round ones if preferable.
