Staff Picks: September 2009
Bookmark and Share

Each month the most typographically tinged folks on the FontShop staff pick the typefaces that we’ve seen put to fine use — and those undiscovered gems we wish were used more often. Here are our selections for September 2009.

Novel
Christoph Dunst's Novel, is meant for editorial and corporate use. However Novel discards the stiffness of popular corporate type in favor of a swashy and calligraphic appearance. Recognized by TDC for the year 2009, and a Design Prize of Germany 2010 nominee, FontShop is proud to call Novel an exclusive. Read more about this unique design in FontShop News and on The FontFeed.

RePublic
RePublic from Suitcase in use for "Francophonie", designed by Bosak & Jansa.

Proxima Nova
Proxima Nova from Mark Simonson in use for "Sustainable Environments".

FontBooklet Two of our Staff Picks this month are featured in the first addition of FontBooklet. FontBooklet No. 1 focuses on Sans and Serif pairing and comparing, and as such Proxima Nova and RePublic look splendid together. FontBooklet is no longer available in print, but can be viewed online.
