Three Rising Stars
Every month we sign up new foundries who provide innovative new fonts, some of which turn into best sellers like Shimmer, currently number 22 on the MyFonts Best Sellers list. (So why are these cursive handwriting fonts so popular anyway?) In this 2nd issue of Rising Stars, we want to show you three of our top-selling new fonts. Click any of the samples to find out more:

Shimmer
Bearded Lady

"Jerky Tash really wants to look like a classic typeface, but something's not quite right.... the serifs and the x-height are definitely jerky." Designer Jakob Fischer

Best Sellers
One of the frequently overlooked pages on MyFonts is our Best Sellers page.

One pleasant surprise on the best sellers list is Sarah Script from CBdO Fonts. Designed by typographer Charles Borges de Oliveira, Sarah Script is flying up the best sellers chart, currently at number 21. Charles tells us: “I designed Sarah Script because I could not find a script font like it.... Sarah Script was designed for my wife, Sarah.”
