Introduction:
Bigger and better is the theme of this newsletter! The popular Linotype Originals collection has been updated with more fonts and many with newly expanded character sets. Also newsworthy, the font selection at Linotype.com is rapidly expanding, as new foundries are regularly added to our site. In a new tutorial series, we demonstrate how to customize type to give it a distinctive weathered look. And finally, we have just the list of fonts for your summer events: Beach Party-themed designs!
