Walcott Moves up to Veer

Yes! I previewed this in the latest Veer catalog. Great designs on the fonts. High quality workmanship. Get "Gypsy Switch" from Jukebox as a "One Free Play" for registered Veer users. Highly recommended!

Annabelle is especially lovely.

This might definately be worth the purchase.

I love the new jukebox selection. I usually have a hard time finding good script typefaces to use, these hit the spot. They have a lot of personality. Peregroy is mighty fine too!

Indeed, Armin. I completely overlooked that one. Thanks.

Seems that Veer has marked up the prices on these as well. Annabelle and Alpengeist were only $20 when they were sold thru MyFonts.com. I wonder if they are exactly the same, or if there have been any enhancements that would justify a 200% increase? Kind of makes me regret not getting some of them soonoer.

Oops, looks like it's time to step in here...

Justin typed: Seems that Veer has marked up the prices on these as well.

I'd just like to clarify that the price increase for Jason's marvelous fonts was a mutual decision, not some unilateral cash grab on Veer's part. We felt that the previous pricing model was undervaluing Jason's library and we wanted to make sure that he was going to get properly compensated for all his hard work - especially as we moved forward marketing and promoting his faces. Yes, it is a comparatively big jump in price. But look again at the fonts. They're worth at least $29 a piece, wouldn't you agree?

Thanks for clarifying that, Grant -- I didn't mean to imply any cash grab on Veer's part, it was just surprising to see the new prices. I agree that Jason's fonts are terrific and that he should be well compensated for his work.

No worries. I just didn't want anyone getting the wrong idea about our intentions.

I need some clients I can purchase these fonts for.

Do you want to be my client? Need a sign for a café next to a tourist sidewalk?

Sorry for my not very constructive, critique-less post(s). :)

Just wanted to say that Jason's creativity is incredible. From a totally unbiased observer. Jason's Grandmother.

What a strange mix. Some faces are good renditions of actual vintage lettering styles. Others are a mixup of influences which gives odd sensations. The latter are a good example of what I defined "naive" typefaces drawn pretty well, as opposed to my commentary on Comic Sans (see the Ban Comic Sans thread).
I wonder if any one of these is actually a pretty faithful digitization of a pre-existing types.
On this topic, a really badly traced/spaced/produced digital typeface exists, based on a wonderful script gem called Dragonwick. It was called Dragon, you used to find it anywhere in freeware archives. I've seen it used so many times in the most inappropriate ways in the last 12 years or so I felt sick.
The peak (at least here in Italy) was reached when I saw a car with its metal-embossed logo set in it!
How uncool? A car logotype (type)set with a SUPER-UGLY digital version of a typeface which otherwise would have been painstakingly good. Give the original drawings of Dragonwick (or a good proof) to Thierry Puyfoulhoux and he'll produce a treasure for you, if you know what I mean.
