Author: Lara Zettl

Effective communication is one of the most vital life skills we need to succeed. Conveying ideas, thoughts, feelings, facts and information clearly and concisely has always been important—but it has never been as important as it is nowadays. In digitalized times, where we coexist in front of our digital devices, a new type foundry was formed in order to satisfy those needs.

newglyph is a Lausanne based type design studio specializing in the design and development of classic and variable fonts systems technology founded by Ian Party, Dennis Moya Razafimandimby and Daniela Retana. They have recently released their website and online shop, the quintessential classic fonts collection with a contemporary license system. They are developing variable design systems and standard formats to fit our ever-changing global communication needs. This culturally divers team has many years of experience in this uniquely creative and technologically driven design field. In this continuously transforming market they strive to better understand our global visual communication needs, help protect our environment and global community.

They have teamed up with three non-profit organizations, and with your help they are donating 30% of their proceeds, they are committed to protecting our planet and all life on earth. A new kind of company that is challenging themselves to create something that understands the issues and needs of our time. A revolutionary move on their part, they offer the most contemporary license for all of a customer’s visual communication needs. Their standard license packages allows you unlimited desktops, websites, mobile apps, electronic publications, broadcasting, videos, films, merchandising, and free updates. They also offer free trials and student discounts to help the next generation of designers.

The Atacama typeface name is derived from “El desierto de Atacama” located in South America. The typeface’s horizontal crossbars, peeks and humanist curves convey a more organic structure and approach to type design. A typeface of the Garalde classification, this font transports the reader between thick and thin strokes, bracketed serif and beautifully curved droplets accentuate a natural softness and strength that evoke the Atacama landscape, and wilderness. The Antarctica typeface name is derived from the Earths southernmost continent and hemisphere. With a timeless Neo-Grotesques contemporary approach this typeface will stand the test of time, much like the majestic Arctic. Amazonia’s powerful contrast between thick and thin strokes, make it ideal for print use in body text, such as book printing, magazines and newspapers. With its many variable possibilities, this typeface aspires to be the Didot archetype font in your personal font catalogue. The name Alaska derives from the Aleut word Alaxsxaq, also spelled Alyeska, meaning mainland. With minimal contrast and even widths, this font is perfect for logo design and branding projects. This geometric archetype font and its endless variable possibilities can be used all throughout one single project and would be a great addition to your personal font catalog.

newglyph’s mission is to help protect our planet. Their essential fonts Atacama, Antarctica, Amazonia, Alaska are made for the reason of supporting and spreading change.
