Members Exclusive

Hand-picked professional typefaces for just $19.99. Exclusively for Premium Members.

This month’s pick: Marcin Antique from Feliciano Type

Marcin Antique is a compelling hybrid design between a grotesque and a neo-grotesque. A fresh interpretation of France’s long tradition of grotesques, Marcin Antique foregoes the quirkiness of its source material while remaining less refined than typical neo-grotesques. This balance creates an airy, versatile type family that is pleasant to read, and works well in both display and text settings. Premium members are offered the complete standard width, that has been expanded with three additional weights, for a total of eleven weights from Thin to Super. These are accompanied by matching italic styles that were completely redrawn for this second version.

Get Marcin Antique (normally $590+) for just $19.99 when you upgrade to our premium membership. You’ll get a font license that allows for the following usage:

• The complete Standard width of FT Marcin Antique (22 font styles)

Fresh Releases

Edict Display from Schick Toikka

Edict is Schick Toikka’s interpretation of quintessential seventeenth-century French typography. The visuals speak for themselves — this is a beautiful and elegant typeface with a mesmerizing italic companion. Both the roman and italic styles feature alternates and decorative ligatures. Additionally, the italic includes a complete set of optional swash capitals, as well as terminal forms for all lowercase letters. Designed for large display sizes, Edict is available in five weights and as a variable font with a weight axis.

Indiana from 205TF

Designed by Malou Verlomme, Indiana is a typeface built upon seemingly irreconcilable constraints. Its letterforms are defined by bold geometric shapes and compact proportions, making it a natural choice for headlines and logotypes. Additionally, its short ascenders and descenders give text a dense and impactful presence on the page. Indiana is available in six weights, ranging from Thin to Black, with matching italics. Make sure to check its extensive range of stylistic alternates and OpenType features!

SuperX Serif from NaN

NaN’s latest release is a display serif with a disproportionately big x-height. The typeface is available in eight weights with matching italics, and includes native support for both Latin and Arabic scripts. A true collaborative effort, the SuperX project, which also includes a sans-serif version, involved contributions from more than eight team members. The Serif and Sans Serif families make a contrasting but matching pair, ideal to create impactful headlines with tight line spacing. But “be prepared for other optical sizes” 😏

Free Fresh Font

One of the free fonts shared in the last 🔒 Member-exclusive issue 🔒 of the newsletter.

Host Grotesk from Element Type

If Host Grotesk looks familiar, it’s because the design is based on Jonny Pinhorn’s ever-popular Poppins typeface. Although Poppins’ essence remains visible, most letters were reworked and modified to fit within duplexed proportions. You understood right, this makes Host Grotesk a uniwidth typeface, meaning that its characters maintain the exact same width across all weights and font styles. This is particularly useful for use on the web, as it allows for smooth transitions between its font weights without disrupting your layouts. You can download Host Grotesk from GitHub, or use it via Google Fonts.
