We are proud to announce the release of Nina Faulhaber’s first typeface, Aeroplan! Reimagined from the remnants of an abandoned font, Aeroplan has made old things new and is the winner of the 2021 Gerard Unger Scholarship. This specialty text typeface takes lessons from how it printed on the pages of a book and has updated them with digital clarity, an extensive and modern character set, and just enough aesthetic quirk to make readers want to keep reading.

Help can sometimes seem too far away, but thankfully there are resources all over the world to improve emotional and mental health. Munich-based psychologist and therapist Ara Kara had Cerno Design create her therapy website using only Lektorat for its slightly emotive, but mostly plainspoken layout.

Since we just released the 12th Adelle Sans script, now is a great time to introduce the designers behind Adelle Sans Korean. Chorong Kim and Changseop Im took inspiration from the rest of the superfamily to create this additional script, matching its intended uses and the formats in which it will show up. Chorong discusses harmonisation among all 12 scripts balanced against the comparative intricacies of Korean. Take a few minutes to expand your knowledge and see some process images of our new release — the flexible and personable Adelle Sans Korean.

Pairing typefaces can be hard because it is part science and part art. For beginners, even knowing how to get started is a huge hurdle. For pros, finding a perfect pairing for so many uses can feel almost impossible. One pair might work in a few cases, but not for much more. TypeTogether helps make it easy because we start our font designs with their uses and pairings in mind. (Here’s ten tips for font matchmaking.)

As one of our most widely applicable serif creations, Aneto is aesthetically captivating and works well for all editorial formats. It has styles for paragraph text and an additional family for the largest of titles. Our Belarius is a family that shifts from a sans serif all the way to a slab serif, supplying the right tone for its midrange purposes: packaging, headlines and subheads, advertising, decks, and pull-quotes. Used together, their differences keep the hierarchy clear and keeps readers reading, as each plays its distinct role.
