Here we come again with the third edition of Outras Fontes' newsletter — the last one in this year. We have some nice new releases that we hope you enjoy.

The first of them that we introduce here is Jana Thork. This type family can be seen as a historical approach that considers our increasing needs for freedom in a post-historical world. It is a synthesis of the stone engraved capital letterforms and the uncial and half-uncial calligraphic styles.

The idea of the typeface designer, Ricardo Esteves Gomes, was to seek for the limits between our uppercase and lowercase mental concepts. In this respect, it unites references from both roman and celtic cultures in one place.

Forte Type foundry was founded in the last october by Jarbas Gomes, from a work experience with Outras Fontes foundry of Ricardo Esteves Gomes. Currently, both foundries are partners in typeface design productions.

The Boldoni family is like a caricature: it brings with itself exaggerated elements of the modern typefaces, that had as main names Giambattista Bodoni and François-Ambroise Didot. Boldoni takes to the limit its width and serifs, causing a ultra fat type feeling, and this style causes a monochromatic effect that shows the colors Black, Gray and White. This type family is suitable for titles, initials, drop caps, lettering and posters.
