We are excited to present two new font releases: a suite of new Cherokee typefaces created by Cherokee Nation citizen and type designer Chris Skillern (), as well as a suite of new Osage fonts developed as a collaboration between Osage Nation citizen and designer Dr. Jessica Harjo () and Typotheque. These new script extensions of the November, October, November Stencil and Lava typeface families are tailored to suit the typographic preferences of the Cherokee and Osage community readers.
The release of these fonts also marks a special milestone. After five years of community-partnered research with First Nations and Inuit communities in Canada and the United States, and the release of the new Cherokee and Osage fonts, Typotheque is also delighted to be able to present the Indigenous North American Type Collection, a large set of fonts that support the digital access, use, and local typographic expectations for all Indigenous communities in North America and their unique writing systems.
This marks the completion of a full set of typefaces supporting all of the Indigenous languages in North America, but it is not the end of the journey. The Typotheque Indigenous North American Type research project continues to work with communities to overcome barriers to their digital language access and will continue to document typographic preferences and requirements through community-partnered engagement.
