"Our rich collection of Web fonts continues to grow," said Chris Roberts, vice president of marketing at Monotype Imaging. "We're dedicated to providing a continually expanding range of exceptional typefaces, from the biggest brands in type to new, contemporary trendsetters. Whether it's the classic Helvetica® or Trade Gothic® faces you need, storied typefaces from the past or emerging designs of the present, we're here to meet every Web font requirement - as easily as possible."
New additions from Omnibus include more than 250 typefaces, including the Vega(TM) family by designer Franko Luin, who describes his design as a free interpretation of 16th and 17th century typefaces, suitable for books and other text settings in addition to the Web.
