Hello everyone 👋

Happy Pride Month! As we celebrate here in Switzerland and around the world, I’m excited to share a special edition of this newsletter dedicated to the incredible work of LGBTQIA+ type designers. Today’s issue features a curated selection of typefaces from proud members of the community—talented designers whose creativity and craftsmanship deserve recognition year-round. Note that I’ve reached out to each featured designer to ensure they’re comfortable being highlighted in this special issue. While I’m here, I guess it’s worth mentioning that Fresh Fonts is a LGBTQIA+ led project. I hope you enjoy reading today’s issue and discover some new favorites! 🌈🙌

Typeface of the Month

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

Ufficio Sans & Display by Giulia Boggio

Ufficio has evolved into a comprehensive superfamily, now including the updated Ufficio Sans and an entirely new Display subfamily. This second version of Ufficio Sans includes added language support for Greek and Cyrillic, with an updated and refined design. Built with versatility in mind, Ufficio Sans comes equipped with many stylistic sets, including several alternate characters, and dashed outline numerals.

But the real excitement lies in the new compelling Display family. Designer Giulia Boggio created it from repurposing some of Ufficio’s scrapped stylistic alternates—particularly that wonky ‘S’—and combining them with bold geometric elements.

Both families span seven weights, with the added flexibility of a variable font version. And by upgrading to Premium now, you’ll get the complete superfamily, giving you a type system for both everyday text setting and attention-grabbing display work.

Save $900+ on Ufficio Sans & Display when you upgrade to Premium.

Fresh Releases

Antiphony from QueerType

Antiphony is the debut retail release from QueerType, the new independent foundry of Detroit-based Betsy Schuster. Conceived as the designer’s graduation project from TypeMedia, this expressive typeface pushes boundaries with both forward and reverse italics sitting at an extreme angle of 45º—making it ideal for setting type in either direction. The fluid design works beautifully on curved paths, and allows for circular typesetting as well. Currently in V0.1, Antiphony is available from Future Fonts in two styles (Display Light Italic and Display Light ContraItalic) but the final family will expand to include bold and heading styles.

Soft Text by Kyle Letendre

Soft Text is a gentle, easy-to-read typeface designed by Kyle Letendre for small-size applications. The concept emerged from the designer’s wish to use an approachable and friendly typeface in instructional materials for his typography workshop students. Currently in its V0.1 release, Soft Text includes full Latin-Extended language support, small caps, both lining and old-style figures, plus subtle ligatures that enhance text flow. Letendre plans to expand the family with bold and italic styles, along with additional decorative flourishes. Soft Text is currently available from Future Fonts starting at just US$35, with all future updates at no extra cost.

Sichem by Anne-Dauphine Borione

Available from Blaze Type’s growing collection of experimental designs, Sichem is a display serif from the mind of Anne-Dauphine Borione, or Ando pour les intimes. Inspired by hot air balloons, the typeface embodies their essence and weightlessness with an airy, silky design that features spacious counters and extremely thin strokes. Sichem comes in a single font style for now, although a multitude of alternates are included. If you need, you could even use its various uppercase alternates to create a sense of hierarchy in your design, and enhance the overall composition.

Tiny Grotesk from Tiny Type Co.

Despite its name, there’s nothing tiny about this typeface’s capabilities. Designer Robin Mientjes has crafted 12 font styles divided into three distinct widths, with each width corresponding to a different optical size, to cover an impressive range of applications. The narrow styles excel in footnotes, sidenotes, and other space-constrained contexts. The regular width serves as a versatile sans serif, optimized for screen display between 12px and 24px. And for commanding presence, the wide styles can scale as large as your design demands. “But nobody’s gonna stop you if you mix things up.”

Adelphe by Eugénie Bidaut

Adelphe is an elegant and quirky serif that supports the standard character set of the Queer Unicode Initiative (QUNI). The typeface includes three subfamilies, each offering a different approach to inclusive writing in French. Adelphe Germinal uses the midpoint to bridge masculine and feminine forms, while Adelphe Floréal employs subscript diacritics (accents placed under letters). Finally, Adelphe Fructidor takes a different route with an alternative ‘e’ and specialized ligatures. Each subfamily comes in three weights—Regular, Semi Bold, and Bold—with matching italics.
