Typographica’s Favorites from 2016

While the list might be a little bit late, what Typographica lacks in punctuality it makes up for in quality. Stephen Coles’ curated list of Favorite Typefaces of 2016 highlights the good from last year, not necessarily the hot. Fontspring has more than a handful of fonts on the list, but our favorites include ones we don’t carry: Neue Kabel, Lubaline, and everything from David Jonathan Ross.
