New Release: Klavika Display

Customers have asked and we’ve always agreed – why doesn’t Klavika have a Black weight? Or an Extra Light? Good questions. Those lead us to wonder, what about an Ultra Black or a Thin as well? Why not fully explore the weight range, expand on the original and add something new? Sounds like the start of a great project!

And with that, Klavika Display was born. Available in four weights – Thin, Extra Light, Black and Ultra Black – and two widths – Standard and Condensed – the family is an addition to the existing Klavika and Klavika Condensed families. Although designed as en extension of the original series, Klavika Display works equally well on its own as a boastful display font. Singles, packs and the complete family are available in both desktop and webfont formats.

Klavika, Property of Fringe Division

As fans of J.J. Abrams, co-creator of the television show ‘Fringe,’ we were tickled by this tiny use of one of our typefaces in the show. From the episode ‘Everything in Its Right Place,’ the in-car communication and navigation system is branded the property of Fringe Division using Klavika, appropriately and soberly set in all caps.

Remembering 2011, Previewing 2012

It’s 2012 already but before we say goodbye to 2011 entirely, there were tidbits from the last 365 we don’t want to forget. And while we’re at it, we’ve included a preview of typefaces slated for release in the New Year.

Seravek in iBooks
The 1.5 update to Apple’s iBooks app included several new typefaces, our Seravek among them. Of the seven type choices within the app, Seravek is the only sans serif.

Webfonts with @font-face, finally!

We’re now offering seven of our families for use as webfonts. Yep, that’s webfonts … one word … for use with @font-face! Now you’ll be able to include Bryant 2, Bryant Compressed, Bryant Condensed, Klavika, Klavika Condensed, Locator or Seravek in web projects using searchable, scalable HTML text styled with CSS alone. Since you’ve been inquiring about using our fonts as webfonts for what seems like ages, we’ll skip the introductions and get straight to the meat.

The Overview
Our webfont option works like this: for a one-time license fee, you’ll get web-only fonts (WOFFs and EOTs) to host and serve yourself. Our webfonts are licensed just like our desktop fonts – no monthly fees, no subscriptions.

In addition to web-only font files, you’ll also have the option to host and serve the fonts through Typekit. If you haven’t heard of FOUT (flash of unstyled text!) or kept up with the latest @font-face gotchas, then using Typekit will make the task of implementing @font-face much easier. Hosting fonts through Typekit also has the benefit of extending the capabilities of WOFFs and EOTs to reach most modern browsers that support @font-face.

Pricing
Pricing is on a per domain basis with a single webfont licensed for a single domain starting at $29. If you need both the webfont and desktop versions of a typeface, a combination pack is available. You’ll receive 25% off the webfont portion when buying the two together.

If you decide to use Typekit to serve the licensed fonts, any one of Typekit’s plans can be used, even their free Trial plan. If you already have a Typekit account, the fonts are added to your existing plan at no additional cost.

Get started!
Process Type Foundry webfonts are available for purchase exclusively on our site. If you’ve already licensed the desktop version of a webfont from our site before, you may be eligible to upgrade to the desktop and web combination pack to save 25% off the webfont portion. Read more about our upgrade program or contact us directly for assistance.

In Use: Klavika in South Africa

Durban, South Africa’s busiest port city, constructed the magnificent Moses Mabhida Stadium which allowed them to be a host stadium for the 2010 FIFA World Cup games. Büro für Gestaltung designed the wayfinding and identity and covered the stadium from the seats to the murals with our Klavika. When the games were over, Jonathan Jackson of WeShouldDoItAll was kind enough to send along images of the stadium with a particular emphasis on the use of Klavika. This booklet was created to showcase his photographs, the stadium and our typeface.
