The typefaces listed here are among the thousands of 2015 releases that didn’t make this year’s Favorites. Think of this collection as a sort of “editor’s picks”. These are the typefaces that I personally felt were worthy of selection — they just didn’t happen to be among the writers’ favorites.
Despite the ever-increasing flow of new releases, this list gets shorter each year as I try to highlight only the most exemplary and original designs. There were dozens of other useful, well-made fonts that came out in 2015; this is just one personal view of the most interesting work.
