Dynamic Fonts New and Old

Introduction:

New release! Aptifer™, a robust and contemporary typeface family offering 28 sans and slab serif styles, is the first item of business this month, but we have a number of other dynamic typefaces and type resources to bring to the attention of LinoLetter readers. Our newest font savings, the Computer Style Value Pack, brings together five first-class tech fonts for one unbeatable price. Two other fonts round out September’s news items, Conga Brava™ and ITC Portago™. Conga Brava™ is a well-sized, jazzy slab serif family radiating with sound and motion that is fitted with several unconventional stencil variants. In this regard, Conga Brava™ shares common ground with ITC Portago™, which is a rough, condensed stencil font. Finally, Linotype.com is pleased to announce that it can now accept even more payment options from customers.


Have fonts of fun!

New, large, and in Charge – Mårten Thavenius’ Aptifer™ typefaces

Aptifer Font
Aptifer™ is the newest typeface family from Linotype. Mårten Thavenius drew upon the rich heritages of two design traditions while creating Aptifer™. His new families are imbued with the spirit of the robust American gothic typefaces, like those from Morris Fuller Benton, as well as the openness and legibility that comes from the humanist tradition, like the typefaces from Adrian Frutiger. Comprised of 28 fonts across two strong styles – sans serif and slab serif – each member of the Aptifer™ family contains all of the typographic OpenType features that our customers have come to expect as well as language support for over 48 languages, including those used in Central and Eastern Europe.
If you are on the hunt for a fresh typeface for corporate identity or modern publication design, check out Aptifer™ on the Linotype website today

The jazz spirit distilled into text face forms – Conga Brava™

Conga Brava Font
Conga Brava™ brings the high-minded, purist letterforms of revivalist, modern calligraphers with the mundane, even crude, lettering of warehouse stenciling. Created by designer Michael Harvey, this type family is named after the jazz classic “Conga Brava” by Duke Ellington and his trombonist Juan Tizol. The rolling rhythm, polished swing, and stacatto brass treatment of the tune suits the look of this sassy roman design and, even more so, its stencil mate.
When you need a typeface that radiates sound and motion, think Conga Brava™

Raw stencil lettering at its best – ITC Portago™

ITC Portago Fontt
ITC Portago™ was designed by Luis Siquot, who admits to a tendency toward unusual typefaces that can be read in text yet also work well in display settings. ITC Portago™ is a stencil face based on the lettering seen on crates and luggage. Siquot says that his “intention drawing Portago was to obtain a neutral, classical, very condensed grotesque stencil shape that is readable in text sizes, showing at the same time the ‘movement’ produced by the nicked edges.”
