FP Dancer 
While revisiting his FF Olsen, Danish designer Morten Olsen created something entirely new, infusing a modern text typeface with the fluidity of a script. The serif and sans families are full-featured OpenType fonts with everything you need to set professional type: small caps, fractions, case-sensitive forms, and text and lining figures in proportional and tabular widths.

Ronnia
A remarkably versatile humanistic sans serif, Ronnia dutifully delivers serious text, yet lets its personality shine in large headlines. Ronnia was engineered for newspaper and magazine applications — space-saving, highly legible, and exuding a subtle friendliness and charm.

Karmina
A text typeface developed mainly for pocket books and budget editions, Karmina was built to withstand the worst printing conditions: low quality papers, high printing speed with web presses and variations in the ink level of the printing press. The OpenType family features 800 glyphs per weight, including small caps, discretionary ligatures, fractions and a complete range of numerals for every use. It also supports over 40 languages.

Skia
Once a popular system font on the Mac operating system, Skia is back with its subtle references to Greek inscriptional lettering. Designed by living legend Matthew Carter, Skia breaks the letterforms down to their basic elements for ultimate legibility at any size.

Rayuela
Alejandro Lo Celso studied at two of the premiere type design institutions, the University of Reading (UK) and the ANRT, Atelier National de Recherche Typographique (France). Rayuela is the practical result of his theoretical research at these schools. The education paid off: Rayuela was awarded by both the ATYPI, in its Bukva:raz! competition, and the Type Directors Club of New York. The family is one of the few serif typefaces that is both informal and eminently readable.

Quimera
Quimera displays Lo Celso’s deep admiration for the great French designer Roger Excoffon. Taking a cue from Excoffon’s Antique Olive, Quimera has a horizontal stress (thick vertical strokes, thin horizontals) which contradicts the conventional forms of calligraphic tradition.

Borges Titulo
Born out of a love for the clean, economical style of writer Jorge Luis Borges, the Borges type family is both functional and beautiful. The titling set is particularly elegant.
