FontShop is pleased to be a global reseller of Linotype’s Platinum Collection. The new series is a selection of classic typefaces from the Linotype Library optimized for modern use. In close cooperation with the original type designers, Linotype reworked and expanded typeface families to make them both technologically and aesthetically up to date. The new typeface families have large sets of harmonious weights. Some have new italic weights and often come complete with small caps and old style figures.


		Frutiger Next The defacto face for wayfinding and information design is now available with OpenType features and a new extra light weight.

		Sabon Next Jean François Porchez’s revival of the timeless Sabon™ with more weights, small caps, old style figures, and OpenType features. 47 carefully digitized styles.

		Trade Gothic Next Akira Kobayashi retooled the classic but convoluted Trade Gothic from the ground up. The family is now an even more versatile workhorse with real heavy weights, true italics, and all new Compressed variants. The Regular weight is now adequately robust for text setting.

		Optima nova A complete redesign of the Hermann Zapf classic, including small caps, old style figures, new italic and condensed weights. Also new: Optima™ nova Titling with capital letters, decorative letter combinations, and ligatures.



			Typophile Film Festival 5 Titles The 5th Typophile Film Festival premiered one month ago at Design à Trois, a three night event exploring rock poster design, book cover design, and type design, organised by Portland AIGA.
			Foundry Focus: Moretype The number of foundries in the FontShop roster is growing steadily. Spotlighting lesser-known libraries will build appreciation for their diversity and the quality of their offerings.
			ScreenFonts August 2009 The right typeface reinforces the atmosphere or adds something unexpected and fresh, while an ill chosen one can seriously spoil the viewing experience and reduce a potentially good poster to a design misfire.



Times Alternatives Quality text serifs that are less common than the default and ubiquitous Times New Roman.	Full-Featured Casual Script OpenType scripts with extensive ligatures, contextual alternates, and swashes for emulating the natural flow and variation of hand lettering.	Slab: Humanist Slab serif typefaces based on the open, readable forms of humanist sans serifs.



			Staff Picks: October 2009 Stephen Coles calls out some faces that have been around for a while but are rarely seen in public. Their scarcity has nothing to do with their quality. These are all fine, usable fonts, with the added bonus that they are not in danger of oversaturating the design landscape anytime soon.
