We’d like to take this opportunity to thank our tireless foundries who have labored over some incredible typefaces this year. The notable fonts below were released in 2012 and maintained an enduring presence on our bestsellers list. If you haven’t considered using one of these families in your own work, maybe now is the time. And to you dear designer, we thank you sincerely for allowing us to be your go-to place to buy fonts. We look forward to serving you in the new year. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year! -Ethan, Dan & John
