Bigger families

For much of December I worked on adding additional weights to three font families.  The revised families are now available on myfonts.com

Euroika has six new members: light, light-italic, semibold, semibold-italic, extrabold, and extra-bolditalic. Below the new weights are shown in black  and the old weights in blue.

KampFriendship also has six new members: thin, thin-italic, semibold, semibold-italic, extrabold, and extra-bolditalic.

Ingriana has four new members: light, light-italic, semibold, & semibold-italic.

All families added more OpenType features. Each now has superscript and subscript numbers that can also be used to form fractions. Euroika and Ingriana also have monospaced numbers that can be accessed via OpenType. Below the sets of regular and monospaced numbers are shown for Ingriana.

As you can see in the above samples, both Euroika and Ingriana have non-traditional italics. None of these fonts was constructed with a specific purpose in mind.

When these font families were constructed in the early to mid 1990s, a complete font family consisted of plain, bold, italic, and bold-italic. Now some of the new font families appearing on myfonts.com have over 100 family members.

(These typefaces are also available at fontspring.com. See here, here, and here.)
