We’ve just finished the unboxing for José, Azza, and Veronika’s newest family, Catalpa, and it’s a knockout! This targeted family only has four thin and four heavy weights — yep, no regular weights on purpose. And that purpose is for headlines, callouts, enormous sizes, stark contrast, strong impressions, and a lot of fun. Even better, if you purchase the full bundle, we’ve included Catalpa in the variable font format, which means it’s a great option for websites and apps. Check out Catalpa on our website type tester.

Our multi-award winning superfamily has received another massive update for Latin-based languages. The new Adelle Sans Extended family contains Vietnamese, Latin, and Pan-African languages. For the African extension we partnered with African language specialist Dr Don Osborn. This family extension was years in the making and is a significant step forward in multilingual type, especially ones intended to carry the same tone across cultures and dialects. If your organization is involved in African humanitarian, educational, or similar category work, please get in touch via our contact form to receive free or drastically reduced font licenses.

The magazine Européens tells stories of European innovators, entrepreneurs, and creators — a clear and optimistic vision of Europe. It dives into everything from food and politics to culture, arts, and education. To reinforce the varied subjects and maintain their high standards for an artistic and professional editorial, Quentin Schmerber’s Temeraire and Louisa Fröhlich’s Lisbeth typefaces were chosen as a vibrant option to the other font choices.
