After St. Petersburg
ATypI’s 2008 annual conference in St Petersburg was a remarkable success writes ATypI President John D. Berry. Official attendance was 314, well in line with our recent conferences, with a large “local” contingent from Russia. (I put “local” in quotation marks because some of them came from as far away as central Siberia, more than 3000 kilometers distant.)

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).
