Fresh Type Releases

Tofino Pro tofino.losttype.com – Share Alanna Munro’s Tofino typeface has been considerably extended, now spanning 74 styles across four widths (Condensed, Narrow, Regular and Wide). Also, its four text styles were optically adjusted to perform better at small sizes. The specimen site was entirely redesigned as well, with dreamy West Coast surf vibes.

Dover Text tinytype.co – Share Available as a serif, and as a sans serif, Dover Text is the smaller companion to Dover Display .

The original die cut lettering on Norway's phone booth (1933)

Riks monokrom.no – Share Designed by architect Georg Fredrik Fasting, Norway’s first red telephone box was introduced in Oslo in 1933. Since then, red phone booths made their appearance across the country and became an icon of Norwegian design. Ironically, Fasting himself couldn’t hear – he was born without ears. But that changed when, at the age of 56, he became the first person in the world to have ear canals constructed, and could finally use his own creation. Read full story Published by Monokrom, Riks is a stencil typeface available in two styles: Normal and Negativ. Riks was inspired from the die cut lettering found on Norway’s phone booths – applying the stencil logic of the ‘O’ to the entire character set. While free for personal use, for commercial use, you will need to buy a license (€50 per style). Free for personal use. Download Riks →
