Over the last 20 years, Luc(as) de Groot has set the standard for flexible, functional sans systems with his TheSans and Taz families. Corpid is no exception, a typeface that offers versatility without sacrificing character. Corpid III adds Semi-Condensed, bringing the family to a total of five weights at three widths. A full set of figures and small caps are available in each width, justifying the origin of Corpid’s name: corporate ID — a demanding design task for which it is well suited.

Inspired by art director Melanie Snedeker's handwriting and executed by renowned letterer Charles Borges de Oliveira, Louisiana dodges the pitfalls of many handwritten typefaces by resisting elaborate forms and employing alternates. It manages to maintain handwriting authenticity while remaining exceptionally legible. |

Influenced by handwriting, Bree combines a straightforward uppercase with a playful lowercase to create a lively upright italic. It’s very readable, but dripping with details like “cursive” characters, a one storey 'a', subtly inverted flares of the left serif, and an alternate 'Q'. |

Ronnia Condensed The standard Ronnia was already space-efficient, but the contemporary sans serif is now even more versatile with the addition of a condensed width. Designed primarily for use in magazines and newspapers, special attention was paid to the color and tone needs of this kind of media, as well as the character count requirements for editorial writing. Cursive italics and curvy forms heighten its friendly charm. Get all the styles in one affordable download with Ronnia Complete. |

A first in type design, Moderno was made by interpolating between a slab serif and Didone. Conceived as a relative of Giza, Moderno was adopted for a number of high-profile projects, including the design of Reforma, the redesign of the Baltimore Sun, and by Esquire. Later, award-winning designer David Berlow expanded Moderno into a 32-style super family. A complete type solution, Moderno is available in 4 weights at 4 widths, all with italics. |

Cyrus Highsmith’s Scout was designed for the redesign of Entertainment Weekly. Structural elements are drawn from a broad spectrum — DIN, Venus, and Carioli all lend characteristics to the 24-style family. Light, Black, and Condensed cuts make striking headlines, while Regular and Bold cuts perform well at small sizes. |

Named after Argentinean writer Roberto Arlt, Arlt is the latest literary face from PampaType. An expressive family, Arlt takes full advantage of the OpenType format with its many alternates and sub families. Deco's wonderful details and Titulo's organic forms are uniquely diverse. True to namesake, Arlt is evocative and unexpected — and perfect for setting texts that evoke those qualities. |

In paying homage to Stephenson Blake’s Grotesque, Julian Morey paid special attention its hot metal roots, maintaining the special character of handmade type. Available in three weights, Sigma's personality shines through in its jaunty 'f', 'g'. and 'r'. |

Based on 1950's cook book lettering, Cuisine is robust without getting unwieldy and a refined update to the iconic American script style. Make sure to sample Cuisine’s many ligatures for that authentic hand-lettered flavor. |

Named for its creator, the wispy Koziupack is another in the long line of successful collaborations between Sudtipos founder Alejandro Paul and his fellow Argentinean Angel Koziupa. Consider it the svelte alternative to their Malbeck and Amorinda for when you need something a tad slimmer. |
