Fountain's Zanzibar by G�bor K�thay. There is a small sample shown on the Fountain site and it will be available exclusively from Veer later this week.

Nick, are you going to be mentioning Panoptica?

Er, well, yes, I usually do manage to sneak in a mention for one of my own.

Anyway, keep those suggestions coming!

What about a mention of the help you're getting from here? :-)

Off the top of my head, for now: DTL Prokyon, Underware Sauna, FF Avance.

How new is new?

Brioso Pro and Sava Pro both shipped from Adobe within the last six months. Although both are historically inspired, neither is a revival.

Cheers,

To me Brioso has too much Rialto in it to deserve much applause, but Sava is a great nomination: check out the action in the "Y" in each of the three scripts.

>How new is new?

What I am interested in is primarily typefaces based on original ideas, designed within the last decade, eg Base.

Stuff that ain't retro --- suitable for the 21st century. Or any other century, but in a parallel universe (eg Dalliance, or as Tiffany suggested, Sebastian).

The deconstructed "New Typography" era is over, so what does "new" mean now?

anything from Process type foundry. eric olson makes some amazing fonts..there is also fedra sans, ok i will not say any more..

Speaking of Sudtipos, I must add Diego Giaccone's amazing Plumera script to this list. Freakin' gorgeous it is. Plus, any or all of the recent spate of decorative pixel fonts by Migual Hernandez and Dave Chau. Werd.

Eww...there's something about that Sebastian font that just turns me off to it completely.

Three recent faces that this amateur typophile has been most awed by are: Jeremy Tankard's Bliss, which I think is the most elegant of the many humanist san serifs; Underware's Sauna, which manages to be warm and friendly yet keep discipline and polish; and Kent Lew's wonderfully crisp and graceful text face, Whitman.

I don't own any of these yet alas.

Nick, is your article limited to Latin script designs?

Well, since the thread is named 'free publicity for new typefaces' I'll immodestly mention my own...

>Nick, is your article limited to Latin script designs?

'fraid so. I don't know enough about non-latin fonts to do justice to the subject.

Thanks for your suggestions, everyone, and I will take a close look at all the suggestions.

This is not exactly on your topic, but is worthy of mention. Adobe's program of reissuing open type verisons of their faces in some cases has involved significant changes.

After discussion on these boards I upgraded to Minion Pro from the old version, and found it much better as far as weight and spacing. I don't know how extensive the changes are in other faces.

Just wanted to pop in to thank Nick for the original post and everyone else for the great suggestions. I've been a bit crazed lately and haven't had much time to shop around for type. Thanks for pointing me to some great type examples that I might have otherwise missed.
