Club Lithographer from DJR caught Katerina Grushka’s eye, thanks to its notable contrast, unusual angle, and long, liquid-like serifs. The typeface stands out as a singular, expressive italic and you can read her review of it on Fontstand News, here: news.fontstand.com/font-reviews...

People perceive thickness of letters very individually, and that’s why we are conducting Font Weight Survey to understand the regional preferences of font weight. Could we ask you for 10 min of your time? The findings will be published publicly once we have some results.

Support the coop, if you use fonts do the survey!
We’re are launching an independent industry-wide survey for font users. We want to hear about your experiences: What works? What’s confusing or frustrating? What would you change? Your answers will help us decide how licensing works within the Fontstand Cooperative.

Terrassa Display and Gradient both contain five variable axes. We considered providing traditional static fonts, but that would produce over 10,000 variations, which would overwhelm your font menu. Instead, we deliver Terrassa Display and Gradient as variable fonts. typotheque.com/fonts/terrassa

Designing dense Chinese characters presents a paradox: increasing the weight of the strokes can compromise legibility, yet insufficient weight fails to harmonise with the visual weight of Latin letters. Read more about creating very dark Chinese characters: www.typotheque.com/articles/chi...
