Check out the hottest new typefaces in our monthly roundup.
Summer is fast becoming a memory. We've all had our holidays, switched off our out-of-office replies, and are wondering whether to put a jumper over our T-shirt. And as we power up our laptops once more, there's oodles of typeface goodness to lap up.
This month's releases include a Victorian grotesque revival with a political conscience and a Peignot update from Production Type. There's Castillon, a serif that fuses British and French calligraphic traditions with those from Estonia; Tüpokompanii's Vee arrives as a younger sister to the Bauer Venus of 1907.
The real standout story, though, has to be Exemplar. Göran Söderström began drawing it way back in 1994, before many people reading this article were born. It is now, more than three decades on, complete. To celebrate, he carved its history into marble street signs in Italy. And after all that work, who could deny him that?
We've been watching Sofia Mohr's Autêntica superfamily expand across the year with admiration, and this serif release doesn't disappoint. Where Autêntica Sans established the family's rhythm and editorial personality, this new release translates those qualities into something warmer and more sculptural; inspired, she says, by Brazilian Brutalism and its dialogue with landscape and light.
With its bold, rounded serifs, softened corners and fluid terminals that open into subtle drop-like shapes, this is not a standard serif by any means. Six weights and a variable font make it very versatile, and this font could be a good choice to use for branding, packaging, editorial and cultural projects.
Thirty-two years: that's how long Göran Söderström of Letters from Sweden has been working on Exemplar. He began drawing it in 1994 on a Power Macintosh 7100. Finally, it's complete: five weights with italics, 791 glyphs, supporting Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and Arabic across 370 languages.
To mark the occasion, Letters from Sweden carved the typeface's three-decade history into marble street signs in Pietrasanta, Italy: one sign per decade, per address where each version of the typeface was designed. They even made a short film about it. They're very excited. And rightly so: this is a significant piece of work: a humanist serif that's been lived with, tested, refined and reconsidered across three decades of design practice. Indeed, Exemplar's multilingual scope alone—370 languages!—puts it in a different category from most typefaces.
We always have high expectations for the work of Malou Verlomme, who co-designed 00 Quatorze, which we covered in December 2025. And we're happy to report that with Castillon, they've been met. Released through 205TF, this serif sits at the intersection of two typographic traditions: British and French; the broad-nib pen and the stone chisel.
The contrast between thick and thin strokes is pronounced, as is the tension between structural capitals and more fluid lowercase forms. As its makers put it: "The serifs seem to waver between lapidary incision and calligraphic stroke", creating a lovely tension that could help bring designs across a number of applications to life. Six weights with matching italics, only slightly inclined and deliberately narrow, complete this confident family.
Three years in the making, Foundry Kingdom is described by designer Stuart De Rozario in unusual terms. "[It] is not champagne, it is a pint of bitter in the local pub," he says. "It is not the King's horse at Ascot, but the drayman's horse hauling beer barrels through narrow streets. It is not spectacle or ceremony, but industrial labour: the quiet dignity of work."
Rooted in the early grotesques of the 19th century, Foundry Kingdom is a homage to that English lineage at the point before it diverged into the German neutrality that eventually led to Helvetica. Within its DNA lie historic forms that were meant to be read quickly and clearly under pressure: railway lettering, newspaper type, hot-metal printing.
Named as a tribute to Isambard Kingdom Brunel, its strokes are heavy, the proportions functional. Meanwhile, details such as bold terminals on the a, c, g, j, r, s, t and y; a two-storey a, and a double-storey g add plenty of character to the mix. Foundry Kingdom is available across fourteen styles from Light to Black.
Peignot is one of the classic display typefaces of the last century. Production Type's House of Cassandre imprint has been stewarding that legacy, and Peignot Jumbo is its latest, carefully considered extension. The concept was a simple one. As Production Type's Deniz Eser Uslu puts it: "There never was an original rounded version of Peignot in the foundry archives, so we decided to make one."
Peignot Jumbo is calibrated for maximum display impact, with all the drama of the original at scale, without any of the compromise at smaller optical sizes. It's a strong choice if you need your typography to be distinctive, whether you're working in a cultural institution, the fashion industry, or in high-impact editorial.
Vieno is certainly ambitious. In developing it, Spoke's Teo Tuominen took the discipline of Bodoni and Didot as his starting point, then deliberately pursued the contradictions rather than resolving them. The result: a serif that consciously sets organic and mechanical forms against each other, leading to a beautiful tension between tradition and modernity.
Despite these historical inspirations, though, Vieno is also pretty original. As Teo puts it: "The terminals are mechanical, rigid squares, the dots are shaped like a diamond, and sharp angles can be found throughout the character set."
Vieno comes in 15 weights from Extralight to Black, each with matching italics, plus a complementary monospaced style for contrast. The character set includes old-style and tabular figures, ligatures, circled numerals, inferiors, superiors, fractions, alternates and a set of distinctive icons.
We all love a 1970s geometric type revival. And better still, Novaform is a more nuanced entry into that genre than most.
It's inspired by an era when classic faces like Kabel and Futura were reimagined with interlocking uppercase ligatures, tremendous x-heights, and a boldness calibrated for display.
As Identity Letters point out, though: "These hallmarks of the phototypesetting era were exclusively designed for display use." By contrast, Novaform has been designed to be more approachable, look more natural and read well in body text.
Ten weights, stylistic sets, hallmark ligatures and a Unicase mode let designers dial up or dial down the showiness as required. The Unicase mode, in particular, makes the typeface's most distinctive quality available as a choice, not a constraint.
Raimundo was designed by Enrique Hernández, the father of one of Latinotype's founders, and this familial link seems to have added an extra layer of warmth to its DNA. Type designer Jorge Cisterna describes it as "that friend who gives you straight advice with a pat on the back. A raspy, confident voice that always has a joke behind every line."
Sitting somewhere between geometric and grotesque, the font features rounded forms, open counters and a weight range that moves from quiet to loud, while alternate forms for a, e and g allow the tone to shift from neutral to expressive in small, controlled increments.
The 541-glyph character set includes typographic emoticons, and not by accident: this is a consumer-facing typeface, not a corporate one. Eight weights from ExtraLight to ExtraBold make it a strong choice for food retail, packaging, digital products and brand identities.
Paulo Goode, whose typeface Raxmus we featured in our May roundup, returns with a typeface that's very, very different. Where Raxmus was flared and stone-carved, Arpeggio is a transitional serif; warm, readable and disciplined. It could serve as a workable alternative to Baskerville; not to mention Caslon, Mrs Eaves, Georgia, Perpetua and Bookman.
Described by Paul as "an original text typeface that balances disciplined rhythm with expressive character", it oozes clarity and confidence in the text weights whilst the Display collection amplifies the characterful nuances with sharpened forms, graceful swashes and exuberant flourishes. A strong choice for books, magazine design or a luxury brand identity.
There are twenty-seven fonts in all across Thin to Black weights, with 500+ glyphs covering all Latin European languages. Variable fonts are available on request.
Elena Genova of My Creative Land, whose typeface Differently was featured in our July round-up, returns with a flared serif inspired by the incised letterform tradition exemplified by Berthold Wolpe's Albertus and Hermann Zapf's Optima. The design is subtle enough for display, whilst maintaining legibility at subhead and text sizes.
The companion italics draw on calligraphy, and there's a well-chosen selection of ligatures, swash capitals, alternates and stylistic sets. There are two widths, each with eight weights from Thin to Black, with true italics included in Regular. This would be a good choice for a brand website, a magazine cover or a book cover.
Created by Richard Lipton, who's been designing type for more than 40 years, Partiche is an expressive sans with a calligraphic eye. It was inspired by the graphic sensibility of Seymour Chwast, the Push Pin Studios co-founder whose mid-century work was characterised by wit, warmth and visual intelligence.
The details Lipton takes from that source are specific: wedge-shaped terminals, sculptural spurs, unexpected details. On the surface, Partiche looks monolinear, but closer inspection reveals the calligraphic thinking underneath. Small caps and a purposeful set of alternates make this font a good choice when a design needs both character and utility.
The latest typeface from The Designers Foundry is built across four sub-families: GRX, GRX Raw, GRX Poster and GRX Poster Raw. The base GRX contrasts bold, rugged serifs with controlled strokes. Raw adds rough texture inside the letterforms, giving the type a handmade weight. Poster sharpens the terminals and amplifies the contrast between thick and thin. And Poster Raw combines both directions simultaneously.
There are five weights per sub-family, and built-in stylistic sets and discretionary ligatures for further expressive control: 40 styles in total. The idea is to give creative latitude while retaining a level of formality. The Poster Raw styles in particular have a graphic intensity that would work well in editorial and poster design.
Vee draws inspiration from Venus, a sans-serif typeface family released by the Bauer Type Foundry in 1907 that was popular throughout the first half of the 20th century. Having worked with Venus herself, graphic designer Laura Pappa was eager to develop a typeface that references its distinctive character while introducing new qualities of its own.
A collaboration between Laura and Estonian type studio Tüpokompanii, Vee is described as "Venus' younger, more mischievous sister." To accompany its release, Tüpokompanii published a print companion called "Let yourself be bad at things": a conversation between the foundry and Pappa about the origins of their working process, the development of Vee, and the values embedded in their typefaces. It's a thoughtful pairing of typeface and text, and suggests a foundry that thinks carefully.
Estelar came out of a sketch. Mauricio Zanon of Zanon Studio, based in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, was working on a visual identity project that required a handful of modularly designed letters, and something in those early letterforms suggested a typeface rather than a logotype. Estelar grew from there, developed through the FontePro course from Plau, and ultimately became Zanon Studio's first commercial type release.
The design sits at the intersection of futuristic and calligraphic: technological characteristics softened by a handwritten quality that prevents it from feeling cold or mechanical. A variable axis covering weight and slant, plus 16 individual static weights from Thin to ExtraBold, 400 glyphs, and support for 95 languages give it plenty of range. A good choice for logos, impactful titles and websites.
Aussie designer Yenty Jap closes this month's round-up with something welcoming and cheerful. YJ Handful of Sunshine is a hand-drawn display typeface with two character sets (Standard and Stylistic Alternates). It's designed to bring a calm, human handwriting voice into modern branding, and is inspired by everyday writing, journaling and note-taking.
The strokes are light and relaxed, with rounded terminals that keep the texture soft. Rhythm is loose but controlled, giving each word a natural flow without losing clarity. Spacing is open, allowing text to breathe in menus, packaging, and signage. Proportions stay steady across the alphabet, creating a handwriting style that feels warm, modern, and human.
This font would be a good choice for use in hospitality, lifestyle, and boutique branding, and more broadly, for anyone trying to give their designs a warm, handmade feel.
The dynamic duo behind one of our favourite bookshops believes merchandise has re-emerged as a powerful marketing tool. We find out more about their latest title.
Merchandise is like a quiet friend who's always there, but we've sadly forgotten about. Sure, we often brush shoulders with the tote bags and pin badges, but I remember the days when branding on mugs and lunchboxes was a huge part of our lives. Who doesn't smile fondly at the memory of a Mr T pencil case, a Weetabix Club tee or a flask paying tribute to Snoopy?
Ok, I'm showing my age. (I'm a Xennial, if you must know.) But merch hasn't been the same since the 1980s. Which is why a new book by Counter-Print shows that might be changing. It's launched its latest book, Merch: We Love Our Customers, arguing that it's no longer a forgettable giveaway but a powerful, intimate marketing channel. It says, "Physical, tactile and enduring, it places brands directly into people’s hands and daily routines. When approached with intention, merch becomes more than decoration – it becomes strategy: reinforcing identity, expressing values and building emotional connection through repeated use."
Founded in 2008 by Céline Leterme and Jon Dowling, Counter-Print is an independent publisher and online bookstore that has become a firm favourite amongst creatives. Their own titles often celebrate the work our industry creates, always with a clear theme.
Over 200 pages, Merch spotlights various projects by brands and agencies who have used merchandise to their advantage. There's the work Hey Studio did for Casa ñidro. In creating the restaurant's brand identity, Veronica and her team asked, "Can creativity be translated into tangible treasures?" The answer is yes. They leaned on vintage 1970s typography and a red-and-cream palette, then rolled the look out across everything from the restaurant's striped awning to tote bags and staff T-shirts.
Then there's Dirty Vegan, a Swedish restaurant and bar that's entirely plant-based but didn't want to look wholesome or twee. Their vegan junk food and craft beer demanded something funkier, so designer Jens Nilsson gave it an identity that looks better suited to a Berlin nightclub than a saintly food shop. An unforgettable lip-licking mouth logo appears on its neon sign, stickers... even a patch embroidered on sweatshirts and printed across brown paper bags that read 'Dirt Bag' and 'Little Dirt Never Hurt'.
My favourite, though, is probably Angel & Anchor's work for the 2023 World AeroPress Championship in Melbourne. For inspiration, the studio thought of the classic Australian milkbar, which was a corner shop selling sticky ice creams and sweets, now a rare find down under. It meant the merch went proper nostalgic, with mugs stamped 'Yeah Nah, Nah Yeah' and tote bags with a bottle-cap-style badge on one side.
I can't think of any creative who doesn't love a tote bag. I've got about 12 hanging on the bag of my office door. You have to be careful which one you choose. Case in point: I once went and did a campaign with a brand carrying a rival's logo without thinking. It caused a bit of a stir, to say the least. But it meant they booked us again.
And when I go to any events or festivals, I always grab a ton of stickers and badges, bookmarks and pencils – bringing them all home for my nephew to enjoy. (He thinks I'm amazing right now. He's 10 and couldn't believe the last haul. I returned from PictoPlasma in Berlin with about a hundred stickers.)
Flipping through the pages of Merch, I see the joy of physical branding everywhere. It's right there on the book's title and cover: 'We Love Our Customers'. Céline and Jon have understood the assignment, promising to give away bookmarks and badges with the first 100 copies sold.
A really nice touch is that you can choose what's on the book's cover. A shirt or balloon... even an umbrella. At just £25, it's an easy decision to support an independent and buy a copy; it's even harder to choose a cover. Personally, it's either the pencil or the basketball for me. I admit, I've not seen inside all of its pages yet. But does the basketball suggest Yinka Illori is in there, too?
I have to find out. You can, too, by grabbing a copy today. And if you enjoy flipping through books like this, then do check out Counter-Print's other titles. And if merch is your thing, its shop has a whole section dedicated to branded items, including mugs, badges, tote bags, and caps.
Which leaves me with one question: should Creative Boom launch its own merchandise? Our friendly (often cheeky) eyes on caps, badges and bookmarks? One to ponder. Watch this space.
What's been cooking up in typography over the summer? Quite a lot, actually. We share some of the latest typefaces to inspire your next design project.
You don't expect much news over the summer months. We journalists see it as a barren period for anything exciting. Everyone's on holiday, including the government. So opening up my usual 'fonts' folder in my email was a relief. I was worried there wouldn't be anything there.
Instead, it's been a bit of a bumper month. New specimens have come in. One from F37, with a new typeface that surely has a bigger story behind the name... we know Rick Banks pretty well. We want the gossip. And there are updates from Chill Type, Mark Julien Hahn (Founder of Softdrive in Berlin), and designer Simon Stratford.
But first, this just in from Ukrainian designer and developer, Dominik Levitsky. He's launched Fontalog – a free and "extremely fast" database that already indexes more than 3.5 million fonts. Instead of only relying on font names or broad categories, the site lets you search using measurable visual characteristics, such as weight, contrast, proportion, and x-height. Unusually, it doesn't use AI to analyse the fonts. Definitely one to check out.
And I also want to mention Arthur Schwarz, co-founder of Bolid System, a young type design studio based between Paris and Neuchâtel. They've just launched their font catalogue with loads of fonts and free trials to play with. We like Milkshake Display, a display typeface "born from anemoia", meaning a "longing for a time never experienced". Like the Gen Z kids hankering after the '90s. Or something to that effect.
Oh, and one more bit of news before we begin: Suitcase Type Foundry has a new website. But it's more than a redesign; it's a new platform for presenting its typefaces through interactive testers, editorial content and real-world applications. Plus, there's a simplified licensing system – music to our ears.
In the meantime, what new treats do we have for August? Read on.
Mark Julien Hahn, founder and type designer at Softdrive Foundry, has just released Lingo – a transitional serif in 12 styles. That includes six weights plus true italics, built as a workhorse for long-form body copy. Our kind of territory.
It's inspired by 18th-century typefaces from the likes of William Caslon, John Baskerville and Louis Simonneau's Romain du Roi. It takes all their old-world charm, low stroke contrast and letterpress warmth as the foundation for this contemporary text face. But there's a twist. On closer inspection, you'll notice little drops on the 'g', 'f' and 'a' that give this serif personality and drama. Alternates are available when pure legibility is the priority.
It includes a full set of international glyphs through ten stylistic sets that swap classic letterforms for phonetic ones, built for expressive display type and logo work. The full family is now available, with a full trial version if you want to experiment first.
One of the best things about running this regular series is discovering new foundries. And Chill Type is one of them. Its founder, Vedad Siljak, reached out this month to tell us about its latest release: Sektor.
It's a monumental slab serif with tight counters and even tighter spacing. Gorgeous. It mixes hard cuts with squarish curves, with technical precision and smooth stability I know you'll appreciate. The large slab keeps it grounded, while the thin punctuation adds nice contrast to the heavier letterforms. Naturally, it's a great shout for huge headlines and bold statements.
The type nerds among you will be delighted to hear of its inspiration: the logotype of an East German watercolour manufacturer. A typeface with a backstory. Perfect.
Now I'm curious. Who is 'Chad' based on? Is it Rick Banks? The friendly face behind F37, dare I ask? These things always come about from office banter, I suspect. We'd love to know if we're right. NOT that Rick has a slabhead. It was just the description: "a square head with a soft side". Which, when I think about it, Rick does kind of have a square jaw.
Whatever it was inspired by, F37 Slabhead is a geometric slab serif with a sturdy frame (more clues) and a "surprisingly approachable personality". It has broad proportions (proper Northern) and solid weights for impact, while teardrop terminals keep it from getting too serious.
Styles range from Regular to Black, with matching italics, too. As F37 puts it, "Slabhead can go from quietly dependable to completely thick-headed", making it ideal for headlines, identities and "anything that needs to make a strong impression without looking like it's trying too hard".
Big head. Soft edges. Lovely personality. Just like Rick... I mean, Chad. Available via the foundry now.
Daniel McQueen from The Designers Foundry has been in touch. He's just released Resan, a super family inspired by the transitional types of the 17th and 18th centuries. It's got warmth. It's got timeless elegance. But it's also precise.
It has a sharp rhythm with generous proportions, giving it decent impact at display sizes. It also lets you change the terminal shapes, shifting the type's entire feel and mood.
It's currently offered in 10 distinct display styles, and if you like what you've seen so far, a series of optical weights is in the works.
We've already shared this one in a recent newsletter. But we like it so much, we added it to our August roundup. Another fun display family; this one's inspired by the expressive lettering of William S. Gillies but with a modern twist. It's rich and warm, and full of personality. It captures the spirit of vintage Italian bodega signs (one for you, Luigi). It also has a touch of old packaging, along with neighbourhood restaurant charm and playful commercial graphics.
Tuffo is named after the Italian word for 'dive', suggesting we take a leap into bold and colourful type, full of flavour, character, and – most importantly – fun.
This one will feel at home across packaging, logos, food brands, restaurants, children's products, and modern visual identities. It's a brilliant balance between nostalgic charm and modern usability. Available in six weights, with a variable font that interpolates across the full range. Nice.
Up next is Puerile Display – a decorative typeface inspired by Civilité, a 16th-century French type style designed by Robert Granjon to look like elegant handwriting. It was originally meant for teaching children to read, hence the name "puérile".
This isn't a straight revival by Applied Systems, though; it's more of an inspired design, so you get all the ornate, calligraphic and slightly Gothic feels, but with a modern take. Basically, something you could use today rather than only confine to a museum.
It includes plenty of OpenType extras, such as alternate letterforms and stylistic sets, so you can dial up or tone down the historical flourishes. In short, it's readable but deliberately playful and unusual. The point is that the letterforms aren't fixed, as they've always evolved. This latest offering by Applied Systems has fun with that idea.
Se Micro is the small-size companion to Se Macro, released by Gallery Type earlier this year. They share the same basic skeleton, but Se Micro works well in small or difficult settings, like tiny text or low-quality printing, perhaps even on screens.
There's a nice twist, too. When you blow this typeface up to larger sizes, those practical features become a visual style in their own right. It looks distinctive and quirky rather than just doing its thing of being legible, especially in bolder weights.
This is an option for branding work across fashion, culture and design-led products. It comes with 10 weights and three widths. And it's part of a growing family: Se Macro is also out, as I've mentioned, but hold onto your hats for Se Mono and Se Rounded, due out later this year or early 2027.
One more for August: Suspira is a sans serif in the grotesque tradition. All the blunt and workmanlike style of early sans serifs, but without trying to stay neutral. What do I mean by this? Well, you know how Helvetica tries to disappear into the background on purpose? Suspira wants to be noticed.
How? It has rounded stroke tips and sharp angles, and the diagonals give it a tense, punchy feel. The capitals are drawn so their visual weight sits high up. The lowercase letters are wide and sturdy. The heaviest weight (Black) bunches the letters so tightly that some strokes touch. Great for impact.
So you see, Suspira takes its influence from those Victorian-era sans serifs, which were quirky and characterful until neutral modernism tamed them. This new family prioritises recognisability over uniformity. It's meant to stand out rather than be a quiet supporting act.
The practical stuff? Eight weights from ExtraLight to Black, 530 glyphs, and a nice set of arrows. This one's for headlines, logos and bold branding. Use it anywhere you want type to make a statement.

While it may seem to be admirable, it could turn out to be extremely difficult to rely solely on your own creativity when building a website from scratch. In truth, the ability to build a great website usually depends on the tools you use and in the underpinning those tools help you create. Creativity is still key, but in this case it is the creativity of the designers of those very tools.
To complicate matters, the bar is raised as far as what constitutes a great or “stunning” website in 2025. The definition of “stunning” is no longer solely about its aesthetics. It’s mostly about a website’s efficiency, responsiveness, and adaptability.

Website designers and builders certainly appreciate the large number of free web design resources that are ready for the taking it. What they don’t appreciate quite so much is the challenge involved in finding one or more that meet their unique requirements in such a large number of potential candidates. Worse yet, the theme or plugin selected must also enable them to design and build websites that will not only be able to engage visitors but be future ready as well.
Did you come across a theme or plugin that could elevate your 2025 projects to the level you would like? If you did not find what you need, you have hopefully gained a better understanding of what to look for as you continue your search.
What you can incorporate in a website design can have a definite impact on its performance and by extension on your business. What you are actually able to incorporate into that same website design depends heavily on the WordPress theme you choose.
When you are in the process of selecting a WordPress theme you quite naturally become familiar with all the design aids, tools, and other features a given theme has to offer. The more features a theme has, the more it should be able to do for you. But will that be enough?
At some point, you need to address two key questions. First, does the theme allow you to create a website that makes a strong first impression? Second, will it ensure your website is future-ready? For the latter, it’s essential to choose a theme that is continuously improved and updated.
Our experts have selected these 9 incredible WordPress themes for 2025 for your consideration. Each one is fully capable of helping you build a website that not only attracts visitors but is also future-ready.

The most powerful and accurate free font identifier.
This tool’s top feature is its accuracy. WhatFontis users have a 90%+ chance of finding whatever free or licensed font they want identified.
No other system can claim that accuracy, and most of them charge a fee for whatever service they provide. It is worth noting that the ability of WhatFontis to identify a given font correctly can be compromised if the quality of the submitted image is subpar, and that is what accounts for some of the roughly 10% of missed identifications.
WhatFontis can do what it does best in part because of its database of 990K+ free and commercial fonts. This is nearly 5 times as many fonts as that attributed to the nearest competitor.
Whether the goal is to identify a specific font sent by a client, or simply because it is attractive, a customer wants to know what it is and where to find it. A search can be conducted for a font regardless of its publisher, producer, or foundry.
The process is as easy as can be.
Note: Cursive font letters must be separated before being submitted.
Client Feedback: “I came across this website courtesy Google search, used their services successfully; and today I find out it’s on product hunt! If you are ‘driven’ by the need to discover what font ‘that person/ company’ uses, then this should be your go-to solution site. For most of us it would be a once in a blue moon need, except for the professionals.”
