They are four designers from Barcelona: Laura Meseguer, José Manuel (aka Josema) Urós, Joan Barjau and Enric Jardí. They’re a loosely-knit collective of independent individuals, each with their own activities as graphic designers, writers and teachers. They have been making and publishing fonts since the early days of desktop type design, and pioneered digital techniques that are now commonplace. Their fonts represent an approach that is, perhaps, typically Catalan: simultaneously adventurous and serious, witty and well-conceived. They recently released a string of new typefaces by Laura and Josema alongside some by other brilliant Barcelona designers. Meet the delegates of Type-Ø-Tones, a foundry that deserves respect.

Each year in January, newsletters follow up in quick succession here at MyFonts. Last week we presented our list of the Most Popular Fonts released in 2013; today it’s back to the future with our monthly Rising Stars. The mission of the newsletter is simple: we present four of the most successful recent typeface families in a variety of genres, plus three families designed for use in long-form texts — hoping to give you some ideas for adding a new color or two to your typographic palette. Enjoy!
