in the Monotype Library (Graphic: Business Wire)
“The latest designs added to the library give creatives even
more typographical options to help set their work apart—no matter
the application, product or assignment,” said Tom Rickner, director
of Monotype Studio Design. “While we’re well known for projects
like the Helvetica Now and Walbaum typefaces, these original
typefaces showcase the wide range of innovative styles and designs
available from our Studio team and designer partners.”
Each of the recent releases are available to customers through
Mosaic™, Monotype’s cloud-based font service that provides
enterprises with an easy way to discover, manage, share and deploy
fonts. Individual font licenses for these designs are also
available through MyFonts.com.
Carnero™: A Hybrid of Precise Geometry and
Calligraphic Energy
The Carnero typeface is a feisty hybrid of precise geometry and
calligraphic flair. Drawn by Steve Matteson for the Monotype
Studio, and with a name inspired by the Colorado landscape, the
Carnero design’s versatility is its strength. From digital ads and
applications to packaging and branding, the typeface is comfortable
and contemporary. The lightest and boldest weights create inviting
headlines, while the middle weights read well for body copy. Used
together, they build a lively brand and a clear typographical
hierarchy. The Carnero family is a compact collection of six
distinct weights, ranging from an engaging light to an
authoritative black, each with an italic counterpart. Its extended
Latin character set helps ensure worry-free localization for
Eastern and Western European languages.
Monarda™: A Fresh Take on the Loud and Splashy Brush
Scripts of the 1950s
Named for a riotous bright red flower that attracts butterflies
and hummingbirds, the Monarda typeface is a rare combination of
flamboyance and effortless beauty. Designed by the Monotype
Studio’s Terrance Weinzierl, it’s energetic, playful and equally at
home in hardcopy headlines as it is in interactive banners. In
addition to the basic alphabet, OpenType® fonts of the Monarda
design are also awash in super-sized swash caps, contextual
alternate characters and ligatures. Drawn for print, the design’s
robust x-height, open counters and wide apertures also make the
typeface screen-friendly. It is suited for a wide variety of food
and lifestyle applications as well as travel, stationery,
packaging, advertising and product branding.
Mundo™ Serif: Created for Comfortable Reading on
Screen and in Print
With designs drawn specifically for comfortable reading in
everything from on-screen digital content to print in periodicals
and books, the Mundo Serif typeface is ready to take on just about
any project. Carl Crossgrove of the Monotype Studio drew the suite
of typefaces to complement his Mundo Sans family’s classic
humanistic design traits—and added a subtle modern influence.
Restrained stroke modulation, generous counters, a commanding
x-height and tall ascenders ensure that content set in Mundo Serif
fonts is both legible and easy on the eyes. While primarily
designed for text copy in print and on screen, the typeface becomes
a powerful display type tool in the lightest and boldest weights.
Headlines, navigational links and banners are naturals for this
versatile collection of typefaces.The Mundo Serif design is
available in nine weights, each with an italic companion.
FF Infra™: A Friendly, Inviting and Multi-Talented
Sans Serif Family
Whether long blocks of editorial text, or snackable copy in web
pages and blog posts, the 20 fonts that make up Gabriel Richter’s
FF Infra family are easy on the eyes in both print and digital
environments. A generous lowercase x-height, open counters and
subtle graduations between family weights make for a family that is
at home in a wide range of sizes. FF Infra is available in 10
weights, ranging from a delicate light to a commanding black, each
with an italic companion. OpenType Pro fonts of FF infra have an
extended character set supporting most Central European and many
Eastern European languages, in addition to providing for the
automatic insertion of ligatures and fractions. Each font also
contains four sets of figures and a bevy of arrows that are ideal
for wayfinding and similar infographic projects.
Amrys™: A Quirky Yet Confident Design That Lives
Between Serif and San Serif
The Amrys typeface by Ben Jones of the Monotype Studio offers a
confidently unusual alternative to more conventional designs. Its
charm lies in its tapering tips, flexing stems and unexpected
notches, which combine to suggest something of the chiseller's tool
at work. As a modulated serif, its letter shapes live between serif
and sans serif, lending the design a sense of pleasing
irregularity—which is especially highlighted at larger sizes. The
Amrys typeface features an extensive and impressive character set.
In addition to Latin, the family covers several scripts including
Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic and Armenian. The family includes eight
weights, from Light to Black, with matching italics.
