FF Yoga
In 1990, FontShop followed its launch with FF Scala, a serif typeface which paid homage to traditional serifs, but offered something refreshingly new, a text face for a new era. Twenty years later, FF Yoga takes the same big step for this generation, offering a soulful, contemporary alternative to the overused classics.
The family is a type system by Xavier Dupré conceived for newspapers and magazines thanks to its strong personality and good legibility. FF Yoga, with its sturdy serifs is a good choice for body text, but it also serves as an original headline face with its subtly chiseled counters. The face mixes the dynamic tension of angular cuts with the balanced rhythm and elegant curves of Garalde typefaces. FF Yoga Sans is a contemporary alternative to Gill Sans and a sober companion to the serif FF Yoga.
The family was made to work together, sharing the same proportions, x-height, and relative weight. The design also has much in common with Dupré’s other recent typeface, FF Masala, which could be used to deliver more informal content alongside FF Yoga.
FF Yoga OT and Pro fonts come with standard ligatures, small caps, case-sensitive forms, lining and oldstyle figures in tabular and proportional widths, and arbitrary fractions. FF Yoga Pro fonts add support for Central/Eastern European languages like Polish, Czech, Hungarian, and Turkish. The fonts are also available in Offc format for Office® users.

FF Mister K Dingbats
While creating the letterforms for FF Mister K, a typeface inspired by manuscripts of Franz Kafka, Julia Sysmäläinen was moved to sketch pictograms in the same personal, hand penned style. Her imagination – and digital ink – ran wild, resulting in FF Mister K Dingbats, a collection of nearly 600 images including animals, plants, stars, famous buildings, faces, food, flags, arrows, and various symbols for sports, hobbies, professions, traffic, and weather.
It is a bargain – FontFont decided not to put the 600 icons in 5 or more fonts, but to put all icons into one single font file for €75. The font comes with a handy manual including a complete overview of all the pictograms, and instructions how to easily access them via keycode or glyph palette.
