40 Of the most beautiful typeface designs released this January
Anyone who’s tried their hand at designing a typeface will know that it’s a wildly difficult process, and to actually come out at the end with something beautiful takes an extreme amount of skill, taste and patience.
Type design isn’t for everyone, but typography is, and nearly every designer works with it every day. This is exactly why Type Release creator Sean Mitchell is here to share with you a list of 40 beautiful typefaces, all of which were released over the past 30 days. These are his findings:
The companion of the famous Brandon Grotesque type family. It has a higher x–height than the Grotesque version and is optimized for long texts, small sizes and screens.
From a bygone era, when our grandparents fought for the freedom we enjoy today. It’s bomber–inspired face provides a masculine punch to any project or design.
Rugged American borders sit side–by–side with formal European patterns and DeLittle of York’s distinctive floral ornaments. Enigmatic hand–carved work from India and well–machined geometric American shapes both take their rightful place in this varied cluster of decorative designs.
Refined, quiet and elegant, yet quirky enough to employ slim filaments that somehow are not faint of heart, Mandevilla is named for the verdant tropical vine.
A light–hearted, cheery font, inspired by a page from an extraordinary Serbian publication for children by the writer, poet and journalist Duško Radović.
