font Mag Will Make You WantWant FontFonts

In May, I opened fire on FontShop, Int’l for their decision to retire www.fontfont.de. The grudge is over. I opened my mail today and love them again. font serves as a showcase for the foundry’s fonts a la publications by House Industries and Emigre. But, like those others, font also features a few smart articles on design and designers. This issue (2) highlights Barnbrook, the Euro, and typography in news media. FSI wisely snatched up Mark van Bronkhorst from ITC’s expired print vestige of U&lc. His trademark design (a witty combo of modern and traditional) shines. There’s an online edition of font, but I recommend you order a printed copy if you aren’t already on FSI’s mailing list.

new publication shows really wonderful potential.

website at all cost! I really hate it!!

Speaking of MvB, his self-described “visually incompetent” ITC Conduit now comes in 35 flavors.

Wow, and their shipping of the magazine is fast. I emailed yesterday to request a copy and it arrived in my mailbox today. That's service.
