Type design is way more than passion: Typography is a foundation of precise and coherent communication. At @TypeMatesFonts @[email protected]

Rounded, Condensed, Stencil, Brush… the Cera Collection is extensive. To not totally get trapped in a Hollywood-eske franchise game —promise, for the very last time— we add something new: Cera Mono is ready for brands and ventures that are generating value from code and data.

@jakob_runge @gabrowitsch @espiekermann Franziska’s one of the main inspirations that got me into designing type.

Franziska was always one of my favorite FontFonts and will remain so forever. I’ve used it on-screen (Zeit Online) and even letterpress (TOC).
Now, after 10 years, Franziska is home at TypeMates. A big shout out to Andreas Frohloff, Ivo @gabrowitsch, Christoph Koeberlin, Ugla Marekowa, Alexander Roth, Jürgen Siebert and @espiekermann—the team at what was FontShop—for all the support they gave along the way!

You must know this: Today Anna Yakupova, the CEO of Paratype, russian company registered in US, welcomes the annexation of the occupied territories of Ukraine. Type design community need to pay attention to this. Please don’t work with @ParaTypeNews and don’t use their fonts

Congratulations to Akira for being awarded the TDC Medal. He's a brilliant designer and this is well-deserved recognition for his many contributions to type design. So why is Monotype passing off my work as his in the announcement?? A thread.
We are so proud to share that @typedirectors announced Akira Kobayashi as this year’s recipient of its highest honor, the prestigious TDC Medal, awarded to those who have demonstrated the value of typography in communication, community, and culture 🥇 https://t.co/00CcWKNDXm

Sometimes the Russian law doesn’t allow us to call things by simple names — if you interpret them freely, there’s a risk of being punished, while we have to protect our collaborators. Yet we are willing to allow using our typefaces in helpful projects. Contact us: info@type.today

The joy of designing Cyrillic type is my only connection to Ukraine or Russia. Right now to see one nation aggressively going after another is deeply shocking. Am grateful that many of our Russian colleagues are making it clear that this attack can not be tolerated.

Hooray, finally #FontFriday! From geometric or classic, for larger or smaller sizes? This super font family covers it all and always looks great! Grato (for larger sizes) and Gratimo (for smaller sizes) by @TypeMatesFonts are available in a geometric, and a classic style.
