It’s finally here – the new website of the typeface publisher Linotype, whose online presence has never impressed me much given the quality and diversity of the products they sell. The new site is fresh, minimalist and does the job very well.

Acta is an extensive type family for newspapers and magazines. This elegant, baroque serif design includes Acta and Acta Display, each in six weights with matching italics. Furthermore Acta Poster, an elegant, eye-catching heavyweight face in three styles, is loaded with ligatures and alternates, offering a wealth typographic possibilities. Eight sets of complementary dingbats for weather, office, time, arrows, circles, labels, stars and flowers give editorial designers a near-encyclopedic range of options.

Altis by Typolar

By Jarno Lukkarila

Altis combines geometric clarity and soulfulness into a coherent type design. Reminiscent of the traditional sans serifs from the early 20th century, it communicates in a friendly way and reads extremely well. Reveal its airiness and optimism with the light styles, or emphasize its masculine strength in the bold weights. Altis was developed to accommodate present-day editorial conditions and publishing models. The ten optically balanced weights range from the delicate Hairline to powerful Black. Various numeral sets and a selection of arrows and dingbats make this family a versatile and accomplished typographic tool.

Velino by DSType

By Dino dos Santos

Velino is a versatile type system with a wide range of variations for editorial use. The serif version comes in two styles, Display and Text, each in three widths: Regular, Condensed, and Compressed. The Display variant is a high-contrast serif with a modern, feminine flair, copious in character, specifically designed for quality printing in large sizes. The proportions and typographic color of the Text variant make it ideal for body copy, even in unfavorable conditions like newspaper printing. Velino Sans and Velino Sans Condensed perfectly match the weight and proportions of their serif counterparts. Velino Poster is the perfect companion for this extensive type system. This bracketed slab serif, in a single weight with matching italic, provides plenty of muscle every time extra impact is needed, for setting very big text, magazine covers, or special sections in newspapers.

New Modern from SawDust: Mix of one part Rob Gonzalez and one part Jonathan Quainton and based in the achingly creative Hoxton area of London town. With four eyes for impeccable detail and quality of finish, a thing of true beauty in the printed form, this duo, as the same suggests, are ones to watch – highly flammable in a creative sense. TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT NEW MODERN

Acorde is a reliable workhorse for large, demanding design projects. It was designed to be perfectly suited to all different sizes, from small continuous text to large headlines and big signage. The typeface’s name is derived from a corporate design typeface, however Acorde is not only suitable for corporate design programmes but for information design and editorial design purposes as well.
Acorde’s inception was in early 2005 as Stefan Willerstorfer’s final project in the »Type and Media« course at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (NL). It is a humanist sans serif with noticeable diagonal contrast and shows clear influences of the broad nib pen, especially in the Italics. Acorde’s characterful details give it a distinctive appearance in large sizes and contribute to its high legibility in small sizes. It comes in 14 styles – seven weights in Roman and Italic each. While the proportions of the Regular style were chosen to guarantee optimal legibility without being too space consuming, the heavier the weight gets the more suitable it is for headline purposes. The heavy weights are relatively narrower than the lighter ones, which gives them a strong appearance.

The huge character set contains 925 glyphs per font and covers a vast range of latin-based languages. Various accented letters, small caps, eleven figure-sets, superscript and subscript are all included. OpenType features allow for a comfortable use of the large set.
In autumn 2010 Stefan Willerstorfer was honoured by winning the Joseph Binder Award in Bronze and in early 2011 he received the Communication Arts Award of Excellence for Acorde.
