Our two newest foundries come from opposite poles. NeubauLaden hails from Berlin, built from a grid of strict geometry and cold modernism. Argentina’s Tipo library is filled with warm, hand-rendered strokes – hardly a straight line in the collection. Each has their place in the appopriate design setting, but both belong at FontShop. Meet these two foundries and hundreds more new fonts in today’s newsleter. |

Austrian born, Berlin based designer Stefan Gandl formed Neubau in 2001 before taking the world by storm with the release of two bestselling books “Neubau Welt” (2005) and “Neubau Modul” (2007). In 2008 Neubau exhibited “Neubauism” a perspicacious, kinetic journey through the world of Neubau opened by legendary designer Wim Crouwel in the Netherlands. Taking a cue from Crowel’s grid-play and the modernist spirit of the Bauhaus school, Gandl creates alphabets that defy traditional typographic conventions and celebrate the stark, imperfect letters made by machines. |

Today we welcome Darío M. Muhafara and Eduardo Rodríguez Tunni’s foundry, Tipo, which gathers the work of Argentina᾿s finest type designers. Of these, Rubén Fontana is the elder statesman. His Chaco was designed for road signs in Latin America which makes it both legible and full of lively flavor. The family was recently expanded to five weights, each with italics, small caps, oldstyle figures, and released in OpenType, making it a versatile system for publication texts and headlines alike.

The first sketches of this face came from studying the rounded shapes of a special kind of sewing machine technique called overlock. Darío Muhafara managed to retain a warm, organic quality to the design despite reworking it to have the readability and typographic features of a text face. An accomplished, useful family, Overlock was selected for excellence by the Letras Latinas awards.
