Graphic designers play a fundamental role in visual communication, whether in print or digital format. They sit between content and reader and, for better or worse, they shape the way the public interacts with information. So when graphic designers choose typefaces they have a responsibility to the reader that should be taken seriously. We covered the type selection process in a previous article so now it’s time to discuss how to assess font quality.

 We’re excited about the possibilities of variable fonts. While developers have been won to the side of “mobile first”, our newest font family in progress Belarius was created from the beginning as “variable first” — and its small file size and instantaneous responsiveness serves the developer community as much as the design and user community. Belarius is our most impressive magazine font yet!

It is our great honour to formally announce our partnership with the preeminent Chinese font foundry FounderType! While TypeTogether typefaces have been available in China as standalone families through FounderType for a while, our first official global collaboration is Adelle Sans Chinese — harmonising and bundling the FounderType Lanting Hei family with corresponding Adelle Sans styles. Adelle Sans Chinese ensures that all Chinese characters and all Latin characters aren’t just partners, but are equals within multiscript layouts, including punctuation. Founder Type is the most important font developer in China, with their typefaces being widely used in newspapers, advertising, books, packaging, mobile devices, television, games, software, branding, and so much more. And this is just the beginning.
