Something new for 2021

 IngrimayneType's first new font for 2021 is now available on myfonts.com and fontspring.com. It is called BearAnark because it began with a blending of two old fonts, BearButteT and Anarckhie. It has five weights, each with an italic style. Like the two fonts that gave birth to it, it is slab serif and is best characterized as a display font, though it can be used for some text purposes. However, it has a lower x-height and is less compact than fonts commonly used as book or text fonts.

Below is a comparison of a few letters of BearButteT, Anarckhie, and BearAnark. You should be able to see influences of the first two on the third. The first two are considerably different and I was curious to see what a blending of the two would yield.

********************

Recent font families expanded by adding italic or oblique styles are PeterPierre (5) and Xaltid (2). Those expanded by adding new weights are KnewFont (3) and Handana (2). Families expanded by adding both new weights and italic/oblique styles are Quidic (3), Xahosch (4) LeakerorLeach (4), GrechenHello (4), Asterx (3), BetterEuroika (2), WalcomeOne (6), Argenta, (4), and RosarGrad (2).
