Queulat
If you’re looking for a font with a strong personality, check out Queulat.

The foundry behind Queulat, Latinotype, explains that it is an ideal choice for logotypes and labels.

Queulat Cnd
Queulat Cnd is a condensed version of Queulat, and it has all of the same special features as the original typeface. It also has a strong personality, but since it is a condensed version, it’s a particularly great choice for headings and subheadings in a print publication.
This font family includes a regular version and an alternative version, which features special accents like teardrop terminals in letters ‘k’ and ‘v’, as well as a double-story ‘a’. You can see the subtle, but appealing difference here:
TT Jenevers
TT Jenevers is a font family that was created by Typetype. The font is a modern serif font, and it is influenced by Dutch serifs. The Dutch influence is apparent in the asymmetrical shape of the serifs and the irregular slant of ovals. The family includes 12 fonts, with small capitals for Cyrillic and Latin alphabets, standard and old-style figures, and stylistic alternates. With TT Jenevers, you get fonts in 6 weights and 6 true italics.
TT Jenevers has OpenType features like ligatures and stylistic alternates. When you download this font, you also get two dissimilar stylistic sets, one which appears more hand-written than the other.
Sánchez Niu
In 2011, Latinotype designed the popular Sanchez font. Sanchez Niu is a redesigned version with improvements that make it a great choice for lengthier text. While the look is basically the same, the proportions are shifted and there are a number of new characters included. Latinotype also included OpenType features (including small caps, old-style figures, stylistic alternatives, and more).
Solitas Serif
Solitas Serif is a font created by Insigne. According to the designer, it’s a font intended for use by a designer who wants a typeface that is serif but not stiff. Just like its sibling Solitas Slab (described above), Solitas Serif allows you to play with a number of weights that go from extra light to extra bold. This font family includes 42 unique fonts that come with various OpenType features like ligatures, ordinal numbers, fractions, denominators, superscripts, and subscripts.
