MyFonts’ review: New Fonts are designed by Charles Nix and Stefano Arcella in New York. The Christmas font is a fun, highly legible, simplified blackletter that’s perfectly named. The charming Sumatran series is inspired by the hand-painted commercial lettering in the tiny village of Tuk Tuk on the island of Samosir, Northern Sumatra. Use Nix Rift, a revival of El Dorado by W.A. Dwiggins, to reclaim some of the warmth of metal type pressed deep into paper.

Biography
New Fonts is a division of the New York-based design office of Charles Nix & Associates. New Fonts custom & commercial fonts & lettering are the result of a cooperative effort between Charles Nix (font design), Stefano Arcella (ornament design), and Wong Chee Yee (digitizing).
Typefaces in the New Fonts collection are derived from a rich variety of sources from 15th century Spain to 21st century Sumatra. Each is the result of careful conversion of hundreds of hand-drawn letterforms to digital media.
The Sumatran Series of fonts is inspired by hand-painted letterforms from commercial signage in the tiny village of Tuk Tuk on the island of Samosir in Northern Sumatra. The series consists of six faces: Batak, Nani, Tuk Tuk, Samosir, Melaka, and Huta Bolon (yet to be released).
