Nadia Serif comes to us from Nadia Knechtle at Quersicht :: Visuelle Gestaltung in Freienbach, Switzerland. A nice, friendly slab serif face that would be nice for text or display use equally. Nice solid slab serifs with subtle round corners give Nadia a less cold and more friendly look and don’t look too much like a typewriter or boring monospace typeface that feels a little bit like a slightly less angular Aptifer Slab from Linotype.

A creative commons typeface called Acid (personal edition), supplied in Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic, Medium and Medium Italic! Thanks to designer Stephan Baum, of Trier, Germany. Acid reminds me of a less chunky version of a nice face from t26 called Dubius, with maybe a little bit of Franklin Gothic Light in the mix. Modern, legible, maybe a little grotesk, a nice all around face that has a lot of uses – and the six version really help! (two fonts in a row from designers based in Trier, and it was totally unplanned.. Trier is font central these days, it seems!) Download the Acid family of six OTF faces.

Sertig is a free opentype face that comes to us from Slovakian WordPress theme designer Dannci, via Type the Font. This font contains 371 Characters – upper case, lower case, numerals, punctuation and a lot more – making it an ideal font to use in a lot of situations. A Swiss influenced sans-serif face like this is always good to have on-hand, it is pretty straight forward with its grotesk characteriscs and adds interesting design elements that become noticeable at larger sizes – check out that angular facet on the bottom of the G and the leaning top of the letter I, at smaller sizes it fits in nice where any other swiss face will do. Sertig reminds me a bit of an old Bistream favorite, Swiss721. Download Sertig OTF file.
