Gotham Relay

Today, within minutes of each other, The Font Bureau and The Hoefler Type Foundry each announced new monolinear sans families. Both designs harken back to the Americana of the early- to mid-1900s and it’s no surprise they are both wonders of simple beauty. Relay is somewhat deco (think Metro, Erbar and Nobel) from young genius Cyrus Highsmith. Tobias Frere-JonesGotham “preserves the unaffected quality of ‘basic building lettering’ as envisioned by a draftsman rather than a typographer.”

Don’t miss the full Gotham story, a nice piece of writing on history and type, matched only by the delightful essays of Frantisek Storm.

I don't know how long this site has been up, I think it's recent, it features some great fonts by Pablo Medina, and even some excellent Print work. But most importantly: Vitrina, one of my all time favorite fonts.
