February and March have brought us a number of new designers and foundries , each with their own style. A few of the more notable include: Photoshop Island , the Kansas City-based type wing of Roger Ridpath ’s design consultancy Ridpath Creative Partners , with three faces. One, Iron Grunge , works quite successfully as a sort of proof-of-concept of Ridpath’s line of Photoshop brushes – this three-face set is a heavy slab serif with various levels of weathering.

February and March have brought us a number of new designers and foundries, each with their own style. A few of the more notable include:

• Photoshop Island, the Kansas City-based type wing of Roger Ridpath’s design consultancy Ridpath Creative Partners, with three faces. One, Iron Grunge, works quite successfully as a sort of proof-of-concept of Ridpath’s line of Photoshop brushes – this three-face set is a heavy slab serif with various levels of weathering.
• Fontschmiede is a partnership between former URW++ designers Michel M. and Frank Baranowski. They come to us with 15 new designs, including the heavy, modern stressed sans Dodgy; Und4, a melding of Designers Republic-era faux-Japanese futurism and the minimalist, rule-based alphabets of the Bauhaus; Silverblade, a pointy all-caps face with a distinctly Gothic flair, and Clayborn, an earthy display alphabet that looks like it was cut directly from a quarry.
• Kyrill Tkachev is the eponymous foundry of Ukrainian designer Cyrill Tkachev. His first release is the somewhat informal bold slab serif 9 Months, a soft and friendly face that is equally successful in display and text settings. Inspired by Tkachev’s wife’s pregnancy and the impending birth of his daughter, the face is childlike without being over simple, and would be excellent for children’s books and friendly, colorful packaging.
• Bulgarian foundry Typedepot’s principals – designers Alexander Nedelev and Veronika Slavova – also come to MyFonts with a single new release, the minimalist and slightly rounded Glide. Containing both Cyrillic and Roman alphabets (and all the characters necessary for typesetting West & Central European languages, Turkish, Maltese and even Esperanto) as well as (layerable) solid and sketch variants, Glide is as futuristic as it is smoothly organic, and certainly fills a niche with its solid multi-language support.
• KTKM’s single release – thus far – is designer Kristian M?ller’s extremely accomplished Baskerville Old Face (pictured above), based on the metal originally cut at Stephenson Blake. As of this writing, only a single display weight is available, but we look forward very much to this family being filled out.
• Glyphobet’s first offerings are fun and varied display faces, including the extremely bouncy Ljubljana and the hard-edged Blackletter-inspired Haylurker; both of these (and most of designer Matt Chisholm’s other releases) include Roman and Cyrillic character sets at the very least.
