Noort Display & Icons

Last month we showed a few images of Noort’s two upcoming fonts — the display weight and the icons — and now they’re here! We’ve polished them up and stacked the icons with some helpful tech under the hood to make it easier for you to use. The icons can be generated by either choosing them directly from the Glyph Palette (in OpenType-savvy programs) or by typing in the first few letters of the icon. As you type, the icon will cycle through the choices if there’s more than one. Want a triangle? Start typing t–r–i–a–n… and you’ll see the options one after the other. More than just a cool programming trick, this can quickly take the guesswork out of finding what you want. Alphabetical cheat sheets included. And a UFO.

Trevor in The Ephemerist

Every once in a while one of our typefaces gets used in a pitch-perfect kind of way — not in an environment we specifically created it for, but a way in which it feels at home. Sara Chapman’s use of Teo Tuominen’s Trevor typeface in The Ephemerist is just that: quirky and mood-setting, supportive of the content and tone, and clever. Trevor is used for paragraph text, article headings, and subheads, and it does so in neighbourly fashion, of course.

Understanding and getting the best webfont licensing deal

Each person on the TypeTogether team supports educational endeavours often. One thing we often get asked about is webfont licensing, so we wrote an article to address it in detail. We go over the pay-as-you-go and perpetual pageview systems, how they work, and which might make the most sense for you. Though each entity’s needs differ, webfonts are here to stay so mash the Read link to get a handle on licensing pros and cons.
