Just released by Village: new cuts of National — Thin, Light and Black in roman and italic.

Chester and Kris made me happy today too.
I completed National by way of the excellent Taste Test program (that is until we get the condensed styles which would be soo welcomed) and I got a head start into Copernicus.
Both types are versatile, however Copernicus is increasingly so. It’s stylish, neutral, literary, corporate, historic and contemporary—all rolled into one by way of the fantastic stylistic sets.
You can be neutral and corporate as seen here:

Or you can go for “baroque” with handsome literary swashed italicized letters: J,v,w,z. And I use the word “handsome” correctly as even though there are elaborate forms at your disposal, industrial strength features have been applied globally; sheared terminals (like Charter), generous ink traps, and in the bolds—chunky slabs (like Meta Serif).
Also, I’m a huge fan of brushy foxtailed type. Gary Munch’s Really and Mark Jamra’s Latienne are my favorite examples. Really is elegant and designed for books. Latienne, the same but without restraint.
Copernicus is neutral and fabulous, and in between if you like. This is the better Platin.
