What it does
Nova Type Foundry publishes retail typefaces and design services. Its catalog includes text and display counterparts, family-style information and trial access, with use-specific licensing.
Nova's catalog includes paired text and display families such as Artigo and Loretta, alongside designs for branding and packaging. Ragu's page offers 12 styles with a weight selector, size controls and features such as fractions, oldstyle figures and alternate character sets. Its glyph viewer identifies characters by name and Unicode, and the family explicitly supports Latin Extended and Vietnamese.
The Trials page asks for a name, email and agreement to the trial terms. Those files are for evaluation and mockups, with limited characters and no OpenType features. Desktop licences are perpetual one-time purchases; webfonts are charged annually, tied to one domain and a page-view allowance. The self-service licences are intended for individual creatives and small studios. Agencies, companies and unlisted uses should contact the foundry for suitable coverage.
