[Ultine Sample Text]
Clean and understated for all your text needs, Ultine is the perfect font when you have a lot of data that you need to convey and not have your font get in the way. Not only that, it has so many sizes and widths that youâd be hard pressed to not find exactly the right size you need. If youâre on the fence, the normal weight is free, so go check it out!

[Januar Sample Text]
Januar is simple and adorable. A hand drawn font from Skyla Design, it looks great in contemporary designs for hip new things. The high contrast in the line thickness gives it extra character. And, for only $15, itâs too good to pass up.

[Martinithai Neue Slab Sample Text]
We love us some modern slabs here at Fontspring, and Martinithai Neue Slab checks all the boxes. Interesting lines, lots of extras, big chunky weights. While it wonât do everything for you, itâs a perfect choice when you need something just different enough to grab attention.

[Comic Book Fonts]
Have you ever wondered why it seems like every comic book uses the same style of lettering? This Vox video explores the origins of that hand lettering and the transition to digital fonts. Vox interviewed John Roshell and Richard Starkings of [Comicraft] and got the low down on the idiosyncrasies and characteristics of comic book fonts. If youâre looking to license fonts for comics, you can find a great collection [on our site].

[OpenType Variable Fonts]
John Hudson of [Tiro Typeworks], a core member of the OpenType Variable Fonts working group, introduces us to a groundbreaking update in the world of font technology. Backed by giants in the industry (Adobe, Apple, Google, and Microsoft), this update has the potential to change how we use and implement fonts on the desktop and on the web. More info can be found in Nick Shermanâs edited twitter feed, [@variablefonts].

[Creating Vulf Mono]
James Edmondson of [OH no Type Co], one of a new wave of super creative font foundries, runs us through his design process for Vulf Mono, a monospace with nuance and soul. The font was inspired by a font available for the IBM Selectric Typewriter and by the funk band, [Vulfpeck], for whom the font was named and designed. Weâre loving the font family and the story behind its unique design.
