Get to Know the Newest Typeface Designs in the Monotype Library (Graphic: Business Wire)
“The latest designs added to the library give creatives even more
typographical options to help set their work apart—no matter the
application, product or assignment,” said Tom Rickner, director of
Monotype Studio Design. “While we’re well known for projects like the Helvetica
Now and Walbaum typefaces, these original typefaces showcase the
wide range of innovative styles and designs available from our Studio
team and designer partners.”
Each of the recent releases are available to customers through Mosaic™,
Monotype’s cloud-based font service that provides enterprises with an
easy way to discover, manage, share and deploy fonts. Individual font
licenses for these designs are also available through MyFonts.com.
Carnero™:
A Hybrid of Precise Geometry and Calligraphic Energy
The Carnero typeface is a feisty hybrid of precise geometry and
calligraphic flair. Drawn by Steve Matteson for the Monotype Studio, and
with a name inspired by the Colorado landscape, the Carnero design’s
versatility is its strength. From digital ads and applications to
packaging and branding, the typeface is comfortable and contemporary.
The lightest and boldest weights create inviting headlines, while the
middle weights read well for body copy. Used together, they build a
lively brand and a clear typographical hierarchy. The Carnero family is
a compact collection of six distinct weights, ranging from an engaging
light to an authoritative black, each with an italic counterpart. Its
extended Latin character set helps ensure worry-free localization for
Eastern and Western European languages.
Monarda™:
A Fresh Take on the Loud and Splashy Brush Scripts of the 1950s
Named for a riotous bright red flower that attracts butterflies and
hummingbirds, the Monarda typeface is a rare combination of flamboyance
and effortless beauty. Designed by the Monotype Studio’s Terrance
Weinzierl, it’s energetic, playful and equally at home in hardcopy
headlines as it is in interactive banners. In addition to the basic
alphabet, OpenType® fonts of the Monarda design are also awash in
super-sized swash caps, contextual alternate characters and ligatures.
Drawn for print, the design’s robust x-height, open counters and wide
apertures also make the typeface screen-friendly. It is suited for a
wide variety of food and lifestyle applications as well as travel,
stationery, packaging, advertising and product branding.
Mundo™
Serif: Created for Comfortable Reading on Screen and in Print
With designs drawn specifically for comfortable reading in everything
from on-screen digital content to print in periodicals and books, the
Mundo Serif typeface is ready to take on just about any project. Carl
Crossgrove of the Monotype Studio drew the suite of typefaces to
complement his Mundo Sans family’s classic humanistic design traits—and
added a subtle modern influence. Restrained stroke modulation, generous
counters, a commanding x-height and tall ascenders ensure that content
set in Mundo Serif fonts is both legible and easy on the eyes. While
primarily designed for text copy in print and on screen, the typeface
becomes a powerful display type tool in the lightest and boldest
weights. Headlines, navigational links and banners are naturals for this
versatile collection of typefaces.The Mundo Serif design is available in
nine weights, each with an italic companion.
FF
Infra™: A Friendly, Inviting and Multi-Talented Sans Serif
Family
Whether long blocks of editorial text, or snackable copy in web pages
and blog posts, the 20 fonts that make up Gabriel Richter’s FF Infra
family are easy on the eyes in both print and digital environments. A
generous lowercase x-height, open counters and subtle graduations
between family weights make for a family that is at home in a wide range
of sizes. FF Infra is available in 10 weights, ranging from a delicate
light to a commanding black, each with an italic companion. OpenType Pro
fonts of FF infra have an extended character set supporting most Central
European and many Eastern European languages, in addition to providing
for the automatic insertion of ligatures and fractions. Each font also
contains four sets of figures and a bevy of arrows that are ideal for
wayfinding and similar infographic projects.
Amrys™:
A Quirky Yet Confident Design That Lives Between Serif and San Serif
The Amrys typeface by Ben Jones of the Monotype Studio offers a
confidently unusual alternative to more conventional designs. Its charm
lies in its tapering tips, flexing stems and unexpected notches, which
combine to suggest something of the chiseller’s tool at work. As a
modulated serif, its letter shapes live between serif and sans serif,
lending the design a sense of pleasing irregularity—which is especially
highlighted at larger sizes. The Amrys typeface features an extensive
and impressive character set. In addition to Latin, the family covers
several scripts including Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic and Armenian. The
family includes eight weights, from Light to Black, with matching
italics.
