After Typ09: from Mexico to Dublin
The consensus seems to be that Typ09 was a resounding success. Certainly the enthusiastic dancing at the Salón Los Ángeles, the intelligent and wide-ranging talks, and the 16-screen theatre-in-the-round presentations went over well, both with local attendees and with those from around the world. And the friendliness and enthusiasm of the local organizers made the whole thing come together wonderfully.

TypeTogether, New Font Releases
We are happy to announce the extension of two of our font families and the release of a new typeface. Karmina Sans, which follows the steps of its successful award winner cousin, Karmina Serif, shares the same technical excellence and it achieves similar stylistic features, but the new sans serif version proposes a much more versatile tool for editorial designers. Karmina Sans has six different weights with their matching italics, from light to heavy, serving continuous text to headlines to small text. Bree, a sans serif with reminiscences of handwriting that has been featured in the most important best selling lists of distributors for 2008, has been upgraded with a set of five oblique fonts, making it 10 weights in total. Ronnia got eight additional fonts which makes a total of 28, now featuring thin and semibold weights. Ronnia is a humanistic sans serif that has been chosen by some of the most prestigious designers and publications, including The Irish Times (Ireland) and The Big Issue (England).
