NEW RELEASE
Portada

Sans serifs are commonly used on small screens. But for all you wishing for a modern serif that’s as clear and readable as a sans in restrictive digital environments, meet Portada. Designed for superlative performance in long form reading on screens, in UI, and apps, Portada is a serif type family with text and titling styles and an extensive (free) icon set. Is a sans better for small screens? Well, now you have the choice of a modern serif.

TYPE IN USE
Sans in web: Tablet Gothic & Ebony

TypeTogether is one of the sponsors for Magfest, an annual international magazine festival and conference happening in mid-September. Their website is done entirely in Tablet Gothic, from headlines to menus and paragraphs — a perfect use since it was made for editorials. If the experts in magazine design use Tablet Gothic when given a choice, you might want to give it another look.
Prototype is a type contest emphasising experimental type design and was organised alongside this year’s TypeCon. With its bold personality and wide stance, Ebony was chosen for website paragraphs. Also, congratulations to Nikola Djurek’s multifaceted Audree type family for winning!
