NEW RELEASE
Athelas now speaks Greek & Cyrillic!

In 2008 we released Athelas, an elegant typeface looking to the beauty of fine book printing. This award-winning font, was recognised even further when Apple chose it for the iBook application, its mobile e-book reader. Now, we are happy to announce the release of the Cyrillic and Greek additions for Athelas, expanding the family as part of our continuous effort to increase language support. Despite the differences between the three scripts, they have been designed to harmonise well when used together. The Greek extension was done by Greek specialist Irene Vlachou and the Cyrillic by Tom Grace.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please contact us if you own Athelas and would like to upgrade to the PanEuropean (PE) version.

TYPE IN USE
Capitolium 2, in Politiken

Politiken,"World's Best-Design Newspaper" in 2012 and 2013, employs Gerard Unger's Capitolium 2 as a fundamental piece in its design. In 2011, Art Director Søre Nyeland launched a sophisticated and bold redesign of Politiken, Denmark's second-largest morning newspaper. As a result the newspaper obtained the highest recognition at the Society for News Design (SND) awards. In this new design Capitolium 2 is used extensively throughout in both capacities, display and text. Unger's typeface is also being used at the website of the newspaper, served by the webfont provider and our partner Webink.

TYPO MATCHING
Eskapade Fraktur & Karmina Sans

In this Typo Match edition we introduce Eskapade Fraktur, the fresh blackletter by Alisa Nowak, and Karmina Sans, a vivid humanist sans. The later is a versatile tool for editorial design, excellent for setting short texts in its intermediate weights, matching nicely with the broken forms of Eskapade Fraktur and its mixture of round and straight forms. The clarity of Karmina Sans tunes perfectly with the daring touch of Eskapade Fraktur decorative capitals.
