Now on Creative Market

 The typefaces of Ingrimayne Type are now available on Creative Market. Creative Market purchased FontSpring at the beginning of 2022.

Family additions

 For the past two and a half years I have posted about new font families that I have developed but almost nothing about the many additions to existing families. This post provides a quick update about those additions.

In 2022 I greatly expanded the Youbee family by adding condensed and semi-condensed widths. The red letters in the picture below show original styles and the black letters are the new styles.

In 2022 I also added styles to many other text font families, including three to BetterTypeRight, two to Xabced, four to JasperSqueeze, four to EuroikaKamp, two to BetterEuroika, four to BetterIngriana, and five to KampIngriana. When these families were created twenty or thirty years ago, a family with four styles was considered a complete family. This is no longer the case.

I added oblique styles to fonts and families including Renslaer, Auldroon, RoundUp, TRGrunge, Swanville, VunderScript, and InsideLetters. Obliques are easy to add and may increase the usefulness of the families. I added outline and oblique styles to SJURecord, AbagailJackson, and Talloween.

I added 12 styles to the NewNerdish family. Included were a new semibold weight with oblique and ten new condensed styles.

Other families getting new styles were IngrianaCasual with six new styles, Dschoyphul with two, and CemeteryWalk with six. IanSego had a new style added and then later two obliques.

A final family with new styles is Grandecort with six. The yellow styles are new and the red styles are old.

 Grandecort may be the last family I upgrade for a while because I have had a great deal of difficulty making edits with the Monotype's Foundry Platform. I find that even small edits run the risk of causing big problems often unrelated to the item I am trying to fix. If Monotype ever gets its Foundry Platform fixed, I may see what else I can improve. 

SanSeraph

     SanSeraph is a simple, clean, sans-serif font family that is highly legible and useful for both text and some display purposes. It is not meant to stand out but to blend in and let the reader focus on the meaning of the text rather than the look of the text. The family has 32 styles composed of three widths, two with five weights and the third with six, and each of these 16 has an italics style.

As the name suggests, SanSeraph is sans serif. 

SanSeraph is available from myfonts.

Revecon

Revecon is a new sans-serif typeface family from Ingrimayne Type now available on myfonts.com. It is a bit unusual because it has reverse contrast (sometimes called inverse contrast), that is, the letters are thick where normally they are thin and vice versa. Serif fonts with reverse contrast were popular in the 19th century for advertising and display purposes. As a result these fonts have an old-fashioned or wild-west look. San-serif fonts with reverse contrast have an uncommon look that is quirky and modernistic. Revecon is legible but seems inappropriate for lengthy text. It can be useful for display purposes such as advertising and similar uses where one wants something simple but a bit unusual and odd.

The Revecon family has three weights with nine styles. Included are three backslanted styles, adding a bit more quirkiness to an already strange family.
