This FontFont release is a big one. First, as usual, we’re launching several original and useful new designs: FF Amman, FF Suhmo, and the long awaited FF DIN Round. Also new: family extensions and OpenType editions of popular classics. And for those itching to take their design online, 15 new Web FontFont families just joined the initial batch of 30 and all Web FontFonts are 30% off until July 15.

FF DIN Round by Albert-Jan Pool

This welcome addition to FontFont’s most popular family brings a softness to FF DIN’s industrial sterility. FF DIN Round is more than a “search-and-replace” rounded version of its predecessor. Albert-Jan Pool and his team redrew each letterform to maintain the structure of the original. This ensures FF DIN and FF DIN Round will work well together in logos, slogans, price tags, etc. as compatible parts of advertising campaigns and corporate identities. FF DIN Round is not only a good companion to FF DIN, its smooth and friendly curves make it work on its own for branding strategies for family cars, bikes, household appliances, sportswear, shoes, or medical products. It’s also very legible on screen and available in Web format.

FF Amman by Yanone

FF Amman is one of the largest bilingual families ever made, one of the few designed bilingually from scratch and the first containing true Arabic italics. The project began as Yanone’s graduation project at Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany. In late 2008, Yanone set out to Amman, the capital of Jordan, to re-brand the municipality in preparation of its centennial celebrations. The typeface with several typographic novelties has been used widely for all kinds of municipal services in Amman. The family consists of seven sans and four serif weights, each with their true italics and both Latin and Arabic character sets.

FF Suhmo FF Suhmo Sketches
     

FF Suhmo by Alex Rütten

Inspired by classic typewriter fonts such as Courier and American Typewriter, Suhmo shares their ability to work well in both headlines and text. But this face is decidedly contemporary, with a subtle playfulness in its loops and swashes and a slight stroke contrast. The forms are derived from the handwriting process and often cross the baseline or the x-height. Suhmo’s extensive character set includes numerous special characters and ligatures, several figure sets and small caps throughout all 8 styles.
