Back in early 2018, I subscribed to a newsletter called Fresh Fonts, by Noemi Stauffer. Fresh Fonts highlighted new foundries and font releases, often including really good free/open-source ones. For paying subscribers, though, FF offered something even better: one free, high-quality font every month. These were commercial typefaces that Noemi was able to make available to subscribers through negotiations with the foundries. I got some of the best #fonts in my library from Fresh Fonts, including the one you’re looking at right now (MD Lórien).
Late last year, Fresh Fonts pivoted to something even more interesting: publishing their own fonts. They’ve released two so far, FRSH Monza and FRSH Clask. I’ve been experimenting with both. They’re lovely, Clask especially.
A few of my recent sketches with Monza are attached.
