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.
