This issue’s nameplate graphic features Refrigerator Deluxe and Goldenbook.
Updated fonts: Goldenbook 2.0
I’ve made the first big update to Goldenbook since I released it in 2003, with a variety of new features including three new weights (Extrabold, Heavy, and Black), support for Cyrillic, new alternate glyphs, and lots of under-the-hood improvements. People who previously licensed the existing styles are eligible for free updates for those styles. Check with the place you purchased the license from.
Updated fonts: Refrigerator Deluxe 2.0
I've also made a major update to the Refrigerator type family, the second since I first released it in 2000. The new version includes a new weight (Extrabold) and Cyrillic support, as well as extensive improvements to things like spacing, kerning, hinting, and overall letterform quality.
