Question

Lots of Type Families from Monotype Recently Added to Adobe Fonts

Several dozen type families from Monotype were just added to Adobe Fonts. Some of these families are very popular, such as Gotham, Helvetica Neue or Agency FB. Akzidenz Grotesk Next is quite a valuable addition considering the retail price for a license. They also added Comic Sans (for people who actually like Comic Sans).

 

Several of the type families are common to the Windows OS as system fonts, but that may be useful for people who move documents between Mac and Windows platforms. Likewise, Avenir Next is commonly bundled in Apple devices but not included with Windows.

 

The only nit I would have to pick about all the new additions from Monotype is some of the type families don't contain all of the styles available. But they do at least cover the basics.

    I wish they could have included some variable fonts with the collection. For instance, Bahnschrift is bundled in the Windows OS as a variable font. It would be convenient for Mac users to have access to the same thing via Adobe Fonts.
