Marlene Stencil
Nicola Djurek has extended his wonderful Marlene with Stencil styles, which offer 4 alternate swashes per glyph. He's crazy.

Capitolium, Coranto and Pollen
Finally, the magnificent Gerard Unger typefaces can be bought at typetogether or MyFonts. Developed especially as newspaper headlines faces or signage type, they are both very space-saving and have excellent display qualities at the same time. Now if he only would release Gulliver as well ;)
Pollen is a very nice, playful, soft serif by the Brazilian designer Eduardo Berliner

India-inspired type
Great work by Henrik Kubel of A2-Type & Geetika Alok for Indian issue of Wallpaper. Also check out Copan by Julia for the Brazilian issue.

Simplon
BPfoundry has changed its name to b+p swisstypefaces, redesigned the website and finally released Simplon, which is a good thing if you're looking for a technosans that is not DIN. Let's hope they'll finish New Fournier soon.

Spore custom type
While the type itself is not my cup of tea, it's an interesting write-up over at The Case and Point (bookmark them!)

Periodico
There is now an awesome newspaper type family available from emtype (Geogrotesque, Relato). I could marry that S!

Carter Sans
Carter Sans is out, but am I the only one who's not that impressed? I wonder why did Matthew Carter lend his name to the humanistic-seriffed Verdana? Having said that, it is still a great design, but I'm also afraid it's going to be overused in no time.

Pona
Having said that Lyon is going to be my next purchase, I have to admit Pona is very nice as well... What to do, what to do...

Tanger Serif
Finally, Tanger Serif is available though MyFonts! I've been a fan of this family for a long time, 3 widths, 16 styles each will accomplish any typographical task (has its price though). Also see the other faces from the new Typolar foundry, great stuff.

Kade
Kade from Re-Type is based on harbour lettering. May look ugly at first glance, but you will learn to love finely balanced no-nonsense roundness and whimsical cuts. Anything that has to do with honest manufacturing: Kade is your typeface.

Mafra Display
DSType has been releasing excellent stuff lately (Apud, Finura, Velino are all outstanding), but it is Mafra Display that really knocks me off. Buy it, buy it now, $26 for a style is such a steal

Runda released
Mark Caneso of p.s.type has just released a new 10 style family, Runda. Although it looks very different from the initial designs, which were soft and, well, rounded, it is a great take on a classic grotesue.

Conqueror: a set of free fonts
Jean François Porchez has released a set of wonderful fonts, with swashes, old style and lining figures, ligatues, extensive language support and everything. Download here.
P.S. Don't confuse it with Coqueror by Yuri Gordon, a great superfamily you will have to pay for ;)

Newtype from FontFarm
Great new family from FontFarm, it seems they've invested much of the time otherwise needed to think of a fancy name into refining the glyphs :)
