Typography is like fashion: trends come and go, and each season has its new favorites, with different shapes and novel concepts. As we noted last month, the one persistent trend this year is chromatic fonts: fonts that can be layered in different colors, combining basic lettershapes with outlines, fills, patterns, shadows and three-dimensional effects, much like in the old days of chromatic wood type. The saga continues: two of this month’s most popular fonts are made for layering. It’s attractive stuff — once you start spicing up your layouts with some of it, it might even become addictive. For the less exuberantly minded, this newsletter offers typefaces that show more restraint: check out our opening sample, as well as the ever-interesting Text Fonts of the Month selection. Enjoy!

We’re working with our windows open today — spring is finally here. Of course, our figurative doors and windows here at MyFonts are seldom closed. We welcome all designers and foundries who have something new to offer (provided that it works and is legally theirs). This past month, dozens of new foundries joined MyFonts. We invite you to explore our What’s New and Hot New Fonts pages to see what they’ve come up with. You’ll also find some familiar faces there: new fonts by established foundries that have been part of MyFonts for a long time. Find out who among them have done particularly well in this new edition of Rising Stars.
