NEW FONTS

Non Solus


Non Solus, the first digital version of Eric Gill’s ‘Solus’ of 1929, is now offered in four weights, each with a free italic. The typeface is uncluttered and elegant, more modern and less fussy than Joanna, Gill’s other slab serif, and also possessing greater warmth. The Non Solus family brings a forgotten classic back to active service.

Bank of England

Bank of England
Bank of England is loosely based on the blackletter lettering from Series F English twenty pound banknotes introduced in 2007. The font also takes inspiration from German Kanzlei (Chancery) typefaces and the 17th century London calligrapher, John Ayres.

Component

Component
Component evokes the aesthetics of machine-readable matrix barcodes such as QR and Aztec codes, but it could just as easily invoke ancient rituals from a lost civilization. Component is a book-weight, condensed goemetric font with patterns of meaning that lie somewhere between mechanization and magic. And there’s a free italic.

Adequate


Adequate is a basic geometric sans serif typeface comprising 6 weights plus a free italic with each. The family has modern, workaday letterforms with a tall x-height for clarity and legibility. Adequate does the job; it doesn’t claim to be beautiful and lacks the fashionable mannerisms of many contemporary faces, but there is something timeless, perhaps elegant, about its mathematical simplicity.

Keep Calm

Keep Calm
Keep Calm is a family of fonts developed from the now famous World War 2 poster that was designed in 1939 but never issued, then rediscovered in 2000. As well as the original Keep Calm font, the medium weight of the poster, new weights are now available – Keep Calm Book (regular weight), Heavy and Light – and each weight now comes with a free italic. The family contains Central European and Western European accented characters.

Savor

Savor
Savor is a script-ish typeface family that oozes exotic; it’s lively and luscious, flamboyant yet dignified. Like other recent K-Types, the fonts include the new Indian Rupee sign. Savor is designed to look just as good all in capitals as it does in title or lower case, and it’s currently available in four weights – Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic . The Regular is free to download for personal use.

Flip

Flip
Flip is a bold outline shadow sans with a counterchange; an eye-catching display font for contemporary usage. Flip is a Rosewood for generations raised on grotesques; a simple modern zigzag replaces fancy Victorian leafiness. Flip is flash but not flashy. It’s decorative rather than pretty. It’s a celebration without pomp, festive but not flowery. Like Rosewood, Flip is a bicolor typeface that is provided as two complementary fonts – Flip Fill has matching spacing and kerning so can be used as a color underlay to Flip Regular.
