TypeTogether newsletter January 2010

NEW RELEASE
Edita small text

Two new fonts were added to Pilar Cano's gorgeous type family Edita. The new weights are engineered for small text setting. They will prove to be a perfect addition to the family for those designers with a keen eye for detail. Edita is a gentle typeface, humanistic in concept yet with a contemporary feel, where softness and fluidity play a very important role. It is a general book typeface, versatile enough to be used in many other contexts, from novels to promotion material.

SNEAK PEEK
Rue

Rue, by Singaporean designer Winnie Tan, is a candy to typographer's eyes. Its casually ornamental appearance with random traces of calligraphic tendencies, make it a spirited and exploratory design. Rue's organic shapes invite for applications in aesthetics, wellness and botanicals. The ten-style family is expected to be released in February.

TYPE IN USE
The Leither

Scottish designer Gavin Munro selected Adelle as the secondary typeface for the redesign of the monthly community magazine, The Leither, based in Edinburgh. Various weights of Adelle, in particular the italics, are greatly used mainly in headlines, subheadlines and shout-outs.
