Grotesk v3.0

13 January 2023In 2023, a new version of Grotesk developed by Ariel Martín Pérez was released. This new version introduces new weights that are multiplexed, which means that you can change the weight of the font without changing the width of the paragraphs. This new version also presents some subtle optical corrections. Last but not least, it considerably expands the glyphset of the font with a brand new lowercase set as well as language support for Russian, Ukrainian, Tifinagh and many Latin-based languages.

BackOut 2.1

5 October 2022The 2.1 version of Backout presents improved spacing and kerning, some new ligatures and some subtle optical adjustments.

Basteleur v2.0

15 June 2022A bit more than a year after its original release, Keussel adds a new sharp thinner weight to the pre-existing soft bold weight of Basteleur. Welcome Basteleur Moonlight!!!

Pilowlava v1.1

22 March 2022Ukrainian design Maksym Kobuzan added the Cyrillic to Pilowlava, allowing speakers of Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian and Serbian languages to play with the typeface. The unicase approach of Pilowlava particularly suits the Cyrillic script and Maksym made a good use of his playful mind to offer a truly original Cyrillic.

In physics, the shower-curtain effect is the phenomenon in which a shower curtain gets blown inward with a running shower. The problem of the cause of this effect has been featured in Scientific American magazine, with several theories given to explain the phenomenon but no definite conclusion. As a second meaning, the fact that nearby phase front distortions of an optical wave are more severe than remote distortions of the same amplitude is called shower-curtain effect.
