Caterina Santullo published the initial version of Lei Sola, a quirky, rich text typeface that takes delight in the restless and dramatic play of contradictory forms, designed by Caterina Santullo. Started in 2021 as a revival of a typeface from a 17th-century book found in a Turinese flea market, during the designer’s TypeMedia studies at the KABK, The Hague. [futurefonts.com]

Advocate is an all-caps display serif typeface available in solid, incised, and shaded styles.

[devicefonts.co.uk]

Bagatelle is a single-weight rounded serif typeface available in three widths. Bagatelle began as an attempt to add a lower case to Freehouse, but swifty developed into a design all its own. It owes something to Oz Cooper and his eponymous Cooper Black and the Cooper-inspired Goudy Heavy, Frederic Goudy’s 1925 riposte for Lanston Monotype. The rounded bracketed serifs are a feature of both Freehouse and ITC’s American Typewriter, which was designed in 1974 when the friendly Cooper styles were undergoing a huge resurgence. [devicefonts.co.uk]

Typefaces like the Post/Canton Series and French Old Style (Barnhart Brothers & Spindler), Römische Antiqua (Genzsch & Heyse 1888) and Romanisch Antiqua (Schelter & Giesecke 1895) informed its development.

Dual Grafika sits somewhere between Bauhaus rationality and the expressive lettering styles of the mid to late 20th century. One of its defining gestures is the horizontal line that moves across the type, from baseline to x-height, stitching the letters together and anchoring the design. [futurefonts.com]

Erkin Karamemet released EK Ultimo, a display typeface that combines angular exterior shapes and rounded counterforms. Available in three upright weights. [erkinkaramemet.com]

Extraset expanded the original ES Rebond Grotesque, a sans serif designed by Roger Gaillard and originally released in 2020, across the contrast axis to a collection of four related typefaces that express a desire to introduce a caligraphic aspect to grotesque designs, taken to the extreme with ES Rebond Revista, whose generous thick strokes and razor-thin thins create dynamic, sculptural forms that sit somewhere between the linearity of sans-serifs and the elegance of serifs. [extraset.ch]

Famira Fonts released Jupette Grotesk, a streamlined version of Jupette, a cheeky slightly soft sans serif with the spirit of the Côte d'Azur in the late fifties designed by Hannes Famira and released in 2024. Its shapes are simplified and some of Jupette’s pazzazz is reduced here. This is evident in more unified proportions, less dynamic counters, terminals that cut off horizontally and corners that in contrast to Jupette are not rounded. [store.typenetwork.com]

Font Club Belgica released FC Crimp, a typeface that combines monospaced font but with better ragging by using half widths for narrow and wide characters, designed by Dries Wiewauters. It revives W.A. Dwiggins’ ingenious idea of using variable-width characters to enhance fixed-width type, blending historical innovation with modern design. [fontclubbelgica.com]

The two styles, representing extremes in the original’s designspace, share flat sides, narrow counterforms, and small holes punctuating the angular joints. [kilotype.de]

Jakob Fangmeier launched on Future Fonts the sharp, ‘Garamondesque’ serif typeface Kante, which in a month’s time has been expanded to a set of four upright weights and a first italic style. [futurefonts.com]

Luzi Type released Yetson, a typeface that strives to capture the very essence of what makes a sans different from its serif cousin, developed by Luzi Gantenbein into the metrically-compatible Yetson Serif and Yetson Sans subfamilies. The Serif version highlights the essentials: a slight tilt to the axis, minimal yet decisive serifs. Yetson Sans has subtle calligraphic touches, especially in the design of the lowercase ‘a’ and the italics. Available in upright and italic styles, and supplemented by the upright Yetson Mono.

Pantograph is a monolinear sans serif which began in 2009 as a faithful recreation of a standard typeface from the British pantograph sign engraving system – a mechanical marvel that used parallel linkages to duplicate and scale letters for industrial signage, designed by Hamish Makgill and Luke Charsley and originally released in 2020. Available in five upright weights across five widths. [weekendtype.xyz]
