Shiny New Foundry: Process Type
Witness the (alternately organic and digital) beauty of Eric Olson’s Process Type. Featured are the first four families: an old-school grot with exagerrated quirks, a surprisingly usable product of ASCII art, an exploration of the same industrial roundness found in Frere-Jones’ Garage Gothic, and a thoughtful take on Courier. The site itself is notable, glowing of attention to usability.
Update, April 15
Process Grotesque and Elderkin have vanished from the Process Type website but the fonts are still available for sale at MyFonts.

Kettler is great... that's a really nice take on the typewriter genre. i'd love to see a "proper" cursive italic for it. it's interesting to see where his Grot and Bureau Grotesque differ, since they're both from the exact same stephenson & blake source. his italic is much nicer than the FB ones, for my taste, and much truer to the spirit of the source. has anyone else seen the face that paul barnes did, loosely based on this and similar sources? i think andy had something up about it on lines & splines a while back. the companion serif face is bizarrely contemporary.

I really like these fonts. Eric wrote to me about six months ago. At the time, I looked at the fonts he had displayed on his Information Repair site (now closed) and what I saw was pretty good. But this stuff is on a new level. Nice work, Eric! Mark Simonson | Jun 5, 2002 12:50 PM
Why don't you let Christian Schwartz contribute to this weblog? I'd love to see you expand the typographic borg. timo | Jun 5, 2002 12:52 PM
