Through entries with bold ideas and new attempts in anticipation with unprecedented expressive capacity, the last competition in 2016 received more than 700 entries from 49 countries and regions, including both Kanji and Latin categories.”

This collection of 7 typefaces is based on the disappearing signs of Soho, at risk of being lost forever due to the ever changing landscape of the area.

Multiple Sans & Slab
“As its name suggests, Multiple is a family with multiple font styles. The idea that sums up the concept behind the typeface is a workhorse—the challenge was to develop a useful font fit for any scenario and suitable to any design needs: editorial design, packaging, branding, screen use, etc.“

Flexible Typesetting by Tim Brown
Because of the web, the role of the typographer has changed. We no longer decide; we suggest. In this book, available July 24, Tim Brown illuminates the complex, beautiful world of typesetting—arguably the most important part of typography, as it forms the backbone of the reading experience—and shows us how to parry the inevitable pressures that arise when we can no longer predict how, and where, our text will be read.

Beatrice Display from Sharp Type
The family is an exploration of contrast methodologies, combining various aspects from the canon expansionist systems, inverted contrast, and the contrast behavior of standard sans-serif grotesks.
