Hi!
Warm greetings from cold New York City.

New release: Newzald by Kris Sowersby of KLIM
Four months after the release of his National family, Kris Sowersby is back with another gorgeous and eminently useful type family, Newzald.
The face is a hardworking serif designed for the editorial environment. Influenced by classic Dutch typefaces of Rosart and Fleischmann, Newzald’s large x-height and slightly condensed forms allow many words to the column. Newzald ships in four weights, Book to Black, providing a wide palette for the user. Its extensive character set includes extended language support, seven numeral sets and small caps across all styles.
The Newzald family of 8 OpenType fonts is available exclusively from Village for US$250.

Speaking of Kris Sowersby...
The results of the Type Directors Club TDC2 competition for type design have been announced, and Kris was recognised as a Judge’s Choice for his National type family.

Congratulations to Kris, who joins fellow Villagers Mario Feliciano, Karsten Luecke, Christian Schwartz, Underware, and Joshua Darden, who have all been recognised by TDC2 in the past.
The National family of six weights in roman and italic, with small caps, several numeral sets, and extended language support, is available exclusively from Village for US$250.

Money matters
The good news: The US$ has hit a record low against the Euro, meaning that licensing type at Village has never been cheaper for our friends overseas. For example, the Newzald or National families, at US$250, convert to Û165. Remember... Our dollar is weak but our types are strong!
The bad news: To cover the increased costs of silkscreen printing and shipping supplies, we are raising the prices of our posters by US$5, effective March 1. We hate to do this, but feel that the posters are still a pretty great deal.

Thanks for everything.
