Hapna Slab Serif by Mariya V. Pigoulesvskaya
Hapna is a geometric slab serif designed as an alternative to other slab style fonts available on the market. The typeface was originally released in January 2013 as a free monospaced single weight slab serif called Hapna Mono. This new design has gone through detailed changes to the characters to help define a more contemporary alternative take on the traditional slab serif style. Hapna was inspired by the baseball culture and the graphic language of the early 1950s. Details include 6 weights, 406 characters and open type features.

Rene Bieder did it again, his wonderful taste in shaping typefaces delight us again with this release of Choplin, a geometric Slab Serif font, base on Campton. Rene describes his own font in this way:
Choplin is a modern and clear geometric slab serif with a sturdy heart. It was designed based on the Campton Family, with the same principles in mind: geometry, simplicity and neutrality. As a consequence, Choplin could be seen as an immediate companion to the CamptonFamily. However, during the process lots of details were changed in order to sharpen the slab serif character which resulted in a slightly different interpretation.
Similar to Campton, it is perfectly suited for graphic design applications ranging from editorial, corporate, web, interaction to product design. In addition, it has an extended range of alternative glyphs, ligatures and opentype features which provide flexibility and uniqueness wherever it is placed.
You can get the font with a huge discount of 85% off that’s mean $35 for 18 fonts. If you have followed Rene for some time you will know that this kind of offer never repeats, the normal price of this professional font is $250.

Abril Titling by TypeTogether.
From the creators of Bree and Bree Slab (one of our top 100 fonts of 2013), here is Abril Titling.
Abril is an extension of the Abril typographic system that was engineered as a response to a very specific requirement from the editorial design community: a low contrast typeface for head- lines. Given its broad range of styles though, Abril deserves to be considered a separate font family on its own.
Based on the original text styles of Abril, the letter shapes are sturdy, very legible, and deliver a newsy and trustworthy feel. The accented editorial style of the Scotch Roman finds continuity in this new type family, but some of the details have been ironed out for improved performance in headline, both in print and on screen.
The family is conceived as four series of different widths, with four weights in each series plus matching italics, a total of 32 fonts. This wide range of styles allows for setting titles at almost any size. The wider series are aimed for smaller point sizes while the con- densed weights can deliver a striking and cohesive appearance as front cover headlines.
Abril was designed as a versatile tool for those graphic and web designers looking for a workhorse with high impact. It is also an excellent companion for the rest of the Abril type family: Abril Titling and Abril Narrow.

Mayonez is a typeface with rational structure and axis but softened with rounded contours, getting as result a balance between seriousness and friendliness. The shapes have a soft appearance but without lacking definition.
A fluider structure influenced by calligraphy is proposed for the italic varaints, in this case the uppercase letters adopted a simplified semiserifed structure that works better with the lowercase letters. Also the figures are very diferent from the roman version and follow more faithfully the italic style.
In an attemp to give Cyrillic lowercase romans a fresh look symetrical serifs inherited from the versal tendency are mostly avoided thus getting simpler structures closer to the latin forms.
This type is good for commercial and editorial uses like advertising, packaging and pages with showy headlines where a warm touch want to be given.
The character set includes a group of figures and currency symbols with standard height and another suited to match better with lowercase letters.
