Thank you Stpehen for kind words on Sophisto. Comments from designers is one of the best ways of finding out whether the typeface works in “daily life” or not. Regarding the special price, It’s been around from the start. Psy/Ops like to praise those “early adaptors” wiht h a lower price.
More comments on “Sophisto workability” anyone?

As long they’re not type designers! Too often the more “expert” they are the worse the critique. (But Carter for one is a notable exception.)

I don’t mind getting constructive feedback even from a type designer ;-). Most times type designers also do graphic design as a profession (like myself).

But you will note that this is not true at the very top of the game. I think it’s because the two activities are actually very different*, and it’s rare to find somebody with both skill sets.
* And I gave a talk about this in Tijuana on Friday.

Sorry I missed that, Fredrik. I didn’t know anything about it. That’s what I get for being a hermit in Stockholm.
