Prokyon Goes Live
Prokyon looks smashing at Tom, a weblog for gay Italians.
“check out the site for one of the very first public appearances of DTL Prokyon, of which I am a proud (and much, much poorer!) licence owner.”

"il primo gayblog italiano" Wow! Taglines sound so much better in Italian. darrel | Jan 13, 2003 07:52 AM
Sexy language it is indeed. And though I personaly cared little for DTL Prokyon, I do agree with Stephen that it is tastefully used to great effect on the weblog. Viva Italia! Troubleman | Jan 13, 2003 01:34 PM
Thank you guys! This is completely unexpected. I never dreamed of a posting about our little blog here on Typographica. You just made an Italian graphic designer very, very happy. Indeed, Tom is receiving a lot of attention from the gay community here in Italy. And I am particularly happy to be able to use DTL Prokyon, which is truly a typeface of remarkable quality. Also, a big due thank you to: Mr. Frank Blokland and Mrs. Noortje Blokland at DTL for their kindness; but most of all, to Hrant, Stephen, Tiffany and especially Kent for their great advice and suggestions at the Typophile Forums.
Haha. And the Oscar went to … Stephen Coles | Jan 13, 2003 01:57 PM
Heh.
Paolo, I'm a big Monica Bellucci fan (your fault, no less) - can you help me? hhp
Is gayblog an actual word? Joshua Darden | Jan 14, 2003 08:02 AM
It probably isn't, but it sounds wicked kewl when it's surrounded by Italian. When I see new words popping up everywhere, used by people who dare to be creative with language and don't feel restricted by its "normal" use, I feel relieved. No sign of Newspeak yet, though we're 19 years past 1984. ;) Troubleman | Jan 15, 2003 11:05 AM
There is this, though. Stephen | Jan 15, 2003 11:29 AM
I think I can live with that Newspeak. Very much even (Barnbrook is one of my heroes from when I went to the Art Academy). Stephen, you are pretty impressive... I'd say "hats off", but you're the one wearing it, not me. =D Troubleman | Jan 16, 2003 12:23 AM |
