Welcome to issue 110!

Hey, it’s Noemi. Great to have you here! Today’s issue is a bit different. Instead of introducing a selection of new typefaces like I normally do, I made a compilation of uniwidth typefaces that were released over the past few years, and of which I like the design. Now, I am not talking about monospaced typefaces here, so just to make sure we’re talking about the same thing: uniwidth typefaces (also called “equal-width”, “duplexed”, or “multiplexed” typefaces) are proportional typefaces, but their characters maintain the exact same width across all weights and font styles, ensuring no impact on line length or text flow when swapping, for example, the Light weight for the Black weight. These typefaces are therefore perfect for digital applications, such as interface and app design. I hope this selection provides inspiration for your next project!

Stay fresh! 😊✌️ — Noemi

Paradise from Altiplano

This month, the focus is on the new Paradise collection from Altiplano (@altiplano_typefaces on Instagram). The typeface includes two high-contrast cuts. First, Atlantique Paradise is an extra bold extension of the foundry’s Atlantique Miami typeface, drawing inspiration from 18th-century English typography with a modern twist. Its slanted counterpart, Millionaire Paradise, is an extra bold extension of the foundry’s Millionaire typeface — more specifically, of its Script style. The outcome, Millionaire Paradise, combines cold, mechanical geometric forms with warm, calligraphic curves. With ultra-clean finishes, refined shapes, and cutting-edge details, these two unique display styles are designed to work seamlessly together.

Uniwidth typefaces for great UI design

A short, handy compilation of cool uniwidth typefaces (also called “equal-width”, “duplexed”, or “multiplexed” typefaces) for your next UI project.

Gnarly by Formerly Known

Released by Formely Known, a design studio based in Los Angeles, Gnarly is a grotesque design featuring exaggerated ink traps and extended terminals. However, the typeface includes a roster of alternates — like a single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ — that can tone down the design if needed. Gnarly comes in five weights, from Light to Black, with matching italics. It is also available as a variable font.

Selecta by Maxitype

Selecta is a highly legible sans-serif designed by Daniel Haettenschwiller. The typeface comes in six weights, ranging from Thin to Black, with Italics plus as a variable font. It includes numerous OpenType features, such as alternate characters, thin punctuation signs, and a wide range of symbols. The uniwidth spacing across all its styles, but also across its large range of icons, makes it perfect for interface and app design.

Dorival UI by Blackletra Type Foundry

Dorival UI is the latest from Blackletra Type Foundry, a small foundry based in São Paulo, Brazil. Loosely inspired by the engineered geometry of Linotype’s DIN 1451, this family balances a strict structure with subtle humanistic traits, like the diagonal terminals. Although it was designed with interfaces in mind, Dorival UI comes in three widths (Condensed, Narrow, and Regular) making it a versatile type family.

Nicéphore from Apex Type Foundry

Nicéphore is a striking display typeface designed by Alex Chavot. With unobtrusive diacritics and short ascenders and descenders, this typeface is your secret weapon for creating tight line spacing and dense page texture. The family comes in six weights (from Thin to Heavy) but without italics. However, it is packed with twelve stylistic sets and alternates to provide you with more options.
