Portada Thai is a modern looped font family that tames the screen with a warm tone. We’ve bundled the entire Latin family with it and included the dark and light icon sets. Check it out on our website type tester during your downtime and see how the screen has met its match.

Wolfgang Homola is the deliberate and analytical designer responsible for the Soleil font family, the fresh geometric sans showing up in smartphone apps, branding, books, and posters around the world. In this interview, Homola gives a peek into his thought process and hopes for design.

Bely by Roxane Gataud, Noort by Juan Bruce, Temeraire by Quentin Schmerber, Laima by Bogidar Mascareñas, and Florian Fecher’s upcoming Lektorat (previously Redaktion).

Each designer went through our mentorship program in order to turn their designs from hopeful into legitimate, attention-grabbing, and professional families.
