Introducing the Font of the Month section

[Ralf Herrmann]

Font releases have been part of our Typography Weekly section, but that wasn’t always ideal. So Typography.Guru now has a dedicated section just for font releases. It’s called Font of the Month. Noteworthy released of the month are gathered and community members can vote for their favorites. 

Check it out and start voting here: https://typography.guru/competition/

As usual I will be pedantic here: doesn't the "must be released in the current month" rule give an unfair advantage to typefaces released early in the month?

I know that "Typeface of last month" is less catchy 😉 and less "of the moment", but still...

We would have to wait and see. My expectation is, that the attention for every entry is similar and limited to 1 to 3 days while the entry appears as new in the feed or on social media. 

Maybe there could be a grace period of a few days to roll over late releases into the next month …

For what is worth, they don’t appear on the “unread” feed.

Thanks for reporting. I pass it on to the developer who coded this. Maybe we can change that in an upcoming version.
