After several years of inactivity, I've revived my site Pixilate, with a new design and new fonts.

The successful typefamily Skolar by David Březina, has been extended to a pan-European character set. This version supports around 90 languages that use the Latin, Cyrillic, or Greek scripts, featuring over 2400 glyphs. The Cyrillic was awarded a Special Diploma at the international type design competition Modern Cyrillic 2009 and won the first prize in the Cyrillic text type category at Granshan 2009. As a bonus, Skolar PE can correctly place any accent from the font above or below all Latin letters, a useful feature for many linguistic applications.

Hello type community,

I'm here to anounce a new release from my independent foundry. That's Alegria, a display type family designed for joyful communication. It is composed by Alegria Roman (with upper/lowercase and oldstyle figures), Alegria Caps (with uppercase, small caps and lining figures), Alegria Bright (am open face small caps version) and Alegria Fill (that can be used as a second layer with Bright or Caps faces to create multiple colors on the text).

Alegria familyis already available to purchase at MyFonts. I hope you enjoy it! :-)

I'm proud to announce the release of Pyes Pa. A high contrast display italic.

We are proud to announce the release of Condiment, the lastest Sudtipos addition to your typographic design recipes.

About Condiment.
Condiment adds flavor to your design. The new font by Koziupa and Paul’s is prepared of powdered soft shapes mixed with brush-drawn letters and tasty alternates conveniently tucked into the OpenType programming (for those programs that support such functionality.) The font includes many alternates and support for Latin-based languages (Including Central European, Baltic, Turkish and Welsh).

Often here on Typophile’s Critique forums are presented some beautiful typefaces.
As it happens, some of them gather a good deal of attention, while others will receive just a comment or two.
What I very rarely have seen happening is the designer coming back to the thread announcing the release of the font.
That said, here’s a short chronological list of fonts I would really like to see released in my lifetime:

• Tierra Nueva, by Sebastian Nagel * RELEASED! (see first comment by Jens)
  http://typophile.com/node/15535
• Epiphany, by Oleg Macujev
  http://typophile.com/node/47571
• Ernestine, by Nina Stössinger
  http://typophile.com/node/50670
• Ambicase Modern, by Craig Eliason

It’s done (at last!):

Looks promising. And in this thread Yuri comments on some of the features that will be included in a coming release and what is already included:

How come there has not been an official press release here already?

Cheers,

Hi everyone,

I wanted to let you know that my typeface Manicotti is now available for licensing on MyFonts. It was honored by the Type Directors Club in 2007, and since then I've expanded it to include lowercase, unicase, more swash variants, and ornaments. Manicotti was a whole lot of fun to draw, so I'm hoping that it is equally fun to use!

Warmly, David

It also supports Serbian italic alternates and “new” Bulgarian stylistics.

I am happy to announce that Anglaise is now for sale on MyFonts.

Mostly designers deliver a PDF preview of their font(s) when one in made. About how it's made, how it looks, blabla. What is your opinion about what should be in it? And which already excisting promotions do you think are good?

I'm trying to make one for myself (more like a catalog but well designed), containing my font collection.

Happy to announce my first "family".

This is a tall, slim monospaced dekor font, a fun, a spin-off of a previous experiment.

This was also the first quite serious project of my (foundry) to achieve a system.

More info at my (also new) site.

Hope you will like it.

Dez Boulder is a Strong-Brewed OpenType display face with Multiple Personalities.

Dezcom Typefaces is proud to announce the release of "Dez Boulder," a rock-on typeface with three personalities on display.

The Dez Boulder family of display faces acts in a supporting role to give meaning to message and context to content. It is a very bold face, not understated. Each of its three personalities (and their sub-personalities) have a different timbre to speak the nuance of your message in a bold voice. Dez Boulder works like a character actor, presenting the author’s lines but not with the deadpan delivery of a news reporter. Boulder develops the role, adding meaning through facial expression, gesture, and body language.

DSType just released Mafra, my debut typeface!
A type family suited both for editorial and corporate design, available in five weights, ranging from Light to Black with matching italics. Mafra is a contemporary typeface with plenty of style, asymmetrical and very dynamic serifs, and pleasent openness and balance.

As always I would love to know what you guys think about it!
Check it out at www.dstype.com.

P22 announces new releases for March- 2 new fonts by Terry Wudenbachs for IHOF, based on designs from the Nebiolo Type Foundry.

P22 Slogan is a non-connecting script font that captures the essence of the lettering used in 1950s European advertising. Bold strokes of this brush-drawn face make this design a great choice for both retro design and contemporary work. The font is based on the 1957 design "Slogan" by Aldo Novarese for the Italian Nebiolo Type Foundry. At the time of its original release, it was touted for "striking publicity work". This new digitization accurately reproduces the outlines of the original not found in previous digital versions of this design. P22 Slogan is a non-Pro Opentype font that includes Central European characters.

http://www.p22.com/ihof/slogan.html

P22 Nebiornaments contains over 100 ornaments based on the Italian Nebiolo Type Foundry designs of the 1950s. Many of these ornaments are designed to create complex patterns and continuous borders. The simple geometric shapes allow for endless combinations for a wide variety of uses.
