LF Corpid III is a versatile type family in three widths for body text, headlines and signage. Originally developed for a Dutch ministry, Corpid has been expanded into one of the foundry’s most versatile type families for corporate and editorial design. Corpid III is its most extensive upgrade to date. Previously available in two widths – Normal and Condensed – Corpid III has now been equipped with an intermediate width: LF Corpid SemiCondensed. The three sub-families come as OpenType fonts in a range of five weights, from Light to Black. All family members come with small caps.
The recently updated Taz III is the OpenType version of one of LucasFonts’ most popular type families. Taz was originally developed as a headline face for the Berlin newspaper Tageszeitung (taz) and was later expanded into a 15-weight family, including a series of seven ultra-thin hairline fonts. Among the new features of Taz III OpenType is an alternate two-story ‘g’ and alternate ‘i’, ‘j’ and dieresis (‘ä’, etc.) with round points instead of square ones. The new Taz III version takes full advantage of OpenType, offering extra ligatures as well as several sets of numerals, including newly designed fractions.
