I have a handful of new font releases out now via Wordshape and MyFonts.

First up: Adora Medium.

Adora Bold

Walter Tracy’s AdSans has been enjoying a resurgence in popularity over the past decade, in no small part from the digital revivals employed by Dutch designer Karel Martens. Adora is a revival of Tracy’s design, but with more attention paid to spacing and kerning for smooth text setting. It has a large x-height and reads well at small point sizes. A range of ligatures have been created for smooth text-setting and detailed display work. Two bonus modular pattern characters are included, custom-spaced so that designers can create seamless patterns to accompany typography using Adora, or to be used as a standalone design feature.

Both weights are available for immediate download from Wordshape and MyFonts.

Effete

Effete is a metropolitan titling typeface, similar in weight and proportion to fonts like Imre Reiner’s Corvinus, but both more expressive and less goofy. Available from Wordshape and MyFonts.
