Wix, Monotype to Expand Font Library & Empower Creators Globally
Ltd. (WIX) recently partnered with Monotype Imaging Inc., a renowned name in typography and font technology. The collaboration significantly expands Wix's font library, offering users, including self-creators, professional designers and agencies, access to a wide array of high-quality typefaces that elevate content and align with unique brand identities. Ranging from timeless classics like Helvetica and Avenir to modern icons such as Recoleta, Kibitz Pro and Aether, the enhanced library is poised to upgrade Wix's creative toolkit. The new fonts available through the Wix-Monotype partnership cover a wide range of styles and uses, making them perfect for small business owners, entrepreneurs, creative agencies and personal projects and portfolios. According to Wix, the fonts were carefully selected in collaboration with Monotype's team of type design experts, creating a globally inclusive and stylistically varied library that supports all creators, regardless of their skill level or design background. Typography now plays a crucial role in brand identity, and platforms like Wix are making it easier to craft unique, on-brand digital experiences. By collaborating with Monotype, Wix demonstrates its commitment to providing top-quality design tools for everyone, from experts to large enterprises. Wix's mission has always been to enable users to create professional, attractive websites without writing code. This move further confirms Wix's transition from a template-based website builder to a comprehensive design platform that combines ease of use with extensive customization options. Wix remains committed to advancing its strategic priorities by investing in AI capabilities, Studio and commerce platforms. Recently, it partnered with a global leader in B2B e-commerce, to empower digital entrepreneurs, small businesses and emerging brands by expanding their global presence and simplifying international trade. By combining Wix's robust commerce infrastructure with extensive wholesale network, the partnership aims to unlock seamless global trade opportunities in more than 200 countries and regions. In April 2025, the company joined forces with ActiveCampaign, a top marketing automation platform, to offer an all-in-one solution for businesses, franchises and multi-location brands. This helps simplify website and marketing tools, making operations easier and boosting customer engagement. Wix is also committed to balancing sustainable revenue growth with improved operating efficiencies. The company aims to achieve "Rule of 45" at the high end of its 2025 outlook, a financial strategy that integrates revenue growth rate and profit margin. Strong execution in AI, Studio and operational cost management is likely to drive higher margins and record profitability. With Studio performing strongly and AI-driven usage and conversion improving, Wix expects these initiatives to be key growth drivers for 2025. Nonetheless, amid ongoing economic uncertainty, Wix remains cautious about its full-year outlook, mainly due to its Business Solutions unit. This part of the business, including commerce and GPV, is highly sensitive to consumer spending and economic shifts. While forex trends offer slight short-term relief, they don't solve the bigger risks. The business looks stable now, but the situation is fragile and could change quickly. WIX currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Shares of the company have lost 26% in the past six months compared with the Computers - IT Services industry's decline of 5.4%.

I grew up proud of my name. Here's why I don't mind Dundas Station being renamed
I have a coaster on my desk, a square depicting acid yellow subway tiles with the word Dundas across the middle in black Helvetica print. The Toronto subway station it refers to was originally named to pay homage to Sir Henry Dundas, a powerful British politician during the colonial era. These brash, bright tiles were installed in 1982, replacing the old yellow vitrolite tiles that had been on the walls of Toronto's eponymous Dundas Street subway station for decades. That very public name has, however, also been part of my identity all my life, both as a point of pride ('are you related?') and derision (my surname begged for teasing as a child). But it was never a reason for shame. Opinion articles are based on the author's interpretations and judgments of facts, data and events. More details

Why Zurich's creative side makes it a top city break destination
When I checked into my hotel, I noticed a man slumped in the corner of the lobby. He looked dishevelled, more like a jet-lagged backpacker than a guest at a five-star retreat. The front desk staff barely glanced at him, so I thought better of rubbernecking. It wasn't until later, while touring the property and admiring works by Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró, that it clicked. I returned to the lobby, got face-to-face with the man in the corner and realised he was no man at all. He was an art installation. I was at the Dolder Grand, a lavish resort built among Zurich's wooded hills, like a fairytale castle towering over the Zürichsee. Originally opened in 1899 as a Curhaus, or spa retreat, it still attracts the world's well-heeled with Alpine views and quiet luxury. But inside, the Dolder Grand offers a glimpse of a lesser-known Zurich, where art, not just affluence, shapes the experience. With more than 100 pieces by major 20th- and 21st-century artists scattered across the property, the hotel doubles as a gallery, reflecting the city's deep ties to creativity and design. And it's far from an outlier. Public artwork brings unexpected beauty to everyday life Zurich is often seen as the domain of financiers, FIFA officials and other members of the Maserati-driving classes. But it also gave the world Dadaism, the radical movement that emerged in 1916 at Cabaret Voltaire and laid the groundwork for surrealism and pop art. Later, Zurich became the birthplace of Swiss Style, which championed grid-based design, sans-serif typefaces like Helvetica and a pared-back, rational aesthetic that still shapes everything from transport signage to websites. Its creative spirit isn't limited to the annals of history, either. 'Zurich is understated but buzzing,' says Jacqueline Uhlmann, manager of the Löwenbräukunst art centre in the up-and-coming Zurich-West district. 'There's a quiet confidence and a collaborative spirit here, driven less by trend and more by substance. It's a city where design, art, architecture and technology constantly intersect.' Some of that is credit to the city's Kunst im öffentlichen Raum (KiöR) programme. It has commissioned and maintained over 1,300 public artworks, ranging from underpass murals to sculptures in cemeteries and playgrounds. At Zurich Main Station, you're welcomed by Niki de Saint Phalle's purple-and-gold 'Guardian Angel.' At Zürichhorn, Jean Tinguely's mechanical 'Heureka' greets you with spinning parts and surreal charm. Even Bahnhofstrasse, the city's high-end shopping boulevard, hosts Max Bill's minimalist 'Pavilion Sculpture.' 'There's a growing movement around reclaiming and creatively using urban space,' explains Milica Vujcic of Zurich Tourism. Perhaps the most surprising example of Zurich's artistic undercurrent is found inside the last place you should be: the police station. Here, the entrance features a vivid fresco of blooming flowers painted by Augusto Giacometti. Known as 'Blüemlihalle,' it's a landmark you can visit freely – no arrest required. A former industrial district now leads Zurich's creative renaissance Follow the Limmat River west from Zurich's medieval centre and the cobblestones give way to train tracks, industrial towers and a different rhythm entirely. Zurich-West, once the city's manufacturing core, has been transformed into a creative hub humming with energy. At its heart stands Löwenbräukunst, a red-brick brewery transformed into one of Europe's most unique cultural complexes. Under a single roof, you'll find the Kunsthalle Zürich, Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst and major galleries like Hauser & Wirth and Francesca Pia, alongside Edition VFO, which specialises in limited-edition prints. In one moment, you can be peering at kinetic sculptures and oil paintings, and in the next, you're eating vegan dishes at Bistro LOI or chatting with gallery owners. 'Zurich's strength lies in its diversity and density,' says Jacqueline Uhlmann, Löwenbräukunst's manager. 'While it may be quieter than Basel during art week, it offers a year-round, highly active contemporary art scene with a remarkable mix of galleries, off-spaces, major institutions, collectors and universities – all within walking distance.' That proximity can fuel cross-pollination. Uhlmann explains that the Löwenbräukunst hosts regular meetups that allow anyone interested in art to plug into the district's creative pulse. 'Initiatives like our monthly Art Walk West – a collaboration across the Zurich-West district – are designed to activate and connect with the broader community,' she says. 'It fosters informal conversations that often lead to real collaborations.' Back in the old town, the art spaces offer a different aesthetic. Kunsthaus Zurich, the city's most renowned fine arts institution, is one of the largest museums in Switzerland, housing works by Marc Chagall, Alberto Giacometti and Swiss-born innovator Sophie Taeuber-Arp. But it's not all reverent silence and oil portraits. Recent exhibitions have tackled everything from NFTs to feminist interventions. And if you need a breather, the leafy Heimplatz square outside is perfect for people-watching with a pastry in hand. If you time your visit right, you might also catch Zurich Art Weekend, a three-day event in early summer that features more than 70 exhibitions across the city. Organised just before Art Basel, the annual art weekend involves everything from rooftop talks to guided tours, all free and open to the public. Zurich's hotels offer discovery as well as design Even Zurich's hospitality industry has a creative edge. The vibrant 25hours Hotel Zurich West was brought to life by Swiss designer Alfredo Häberli. The Boutique & Art Hotel Helvetia houses sculptures, paintings, prints and more in its clean riverside space. And then there's the Dolder Grand, where art is everywhere. Reportedly worth over €800 million, its collection is interwoven with the guest experience. One morning, I walked into Blooms, the hotel's garden restaurant, and found a towering Keith Haring sculpture rising from the flower beds. 'Unlike in a traditional museum setting, guests encounter art in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere,' says Markus Granelli, the general manager. 'It encourages lingering, observation and conversation.' You experience that whether you're sipping a cocktail at the Canvas Bar & Lounge – where each drink is inspired by a different piece in the hotel's collection – or admiring a giant mushroom sculpture by Takashi Murakami in the modern wing. There are works by Francesco Clemente, Urs Fischer, Mel Ramos and even Sylvester Stallone. But the piece that lingers is Duane Hanson's 'Traveller,' also known as the man in the lobby. Made with a mix of found materials – clothing, hair, paper tickets – he looks startlingly lifelike. Orlando International Airport has a version, too, and passersby regularly try to wake him. I nearly did the same. While he may not move, let alone talk, the man in the lobby will tell you everything you need to know about Zurich. Art isn't kept behind glass here; it's part of the experience. As Uhlmann puts it: 'It's a place where something is made, not just shown.'
