Typographica Looks Different

Our wee redesign is complete for now. Just don't look at it with Netscape. More nameplates will rotate your way soon. Thanks to Jenny and Matthew for the help. These code chumps did most of the work while I sat in a corner and cried. Today was a reminder that the web can inflict pain on a print designer.

Small exhibit on Herbert Bayer at Victory Type, who produce some fonts based on his work. The links section has pointers to another few Bauhaus-related sites.

My Nameplate Sucks

I'm a little embarassed having my name on the header. Masthead? Flag? Nameplate? Whatever. Under protest, etc.

Redesign... We're moving things around a bit. Don't make fun of me, yet.

The Deseret Alphabet in Your Font Menu

There was earlier talk of Brigham Young’s Deseret alphabet, developed in the 1850s. It’s been approved for inclusion in Unicode 3.1. Meanwhile, John Jenkins at Apple developed a Deseret Language Kit for using the alphabet on Mac OS 7–9.

If you want to go ancient, Bonneville Electronics whipped up font kits for old-school written languages with names like Qumran, Syriac, Persian Cuneiform, and Egyptian Cartouche.

Thanks to the fellas at amputate.org for hunting this stuff down.

Phil's Fonts, New and Improved?


The News Section of Microsoft Typography claims Phil's Fonts Web site has been redesigned, and it looks good.

Ummm. Looks good, eh?

I wonder what it had looked like before the redesign.
