I am happy to say I got my set of Veer type catalogs in the mail a couple of days ago, and I love them. Grant, let it be known far and wide: I think Veer is doing an amazing job and I look forward to getting Veer goodies in the mail each month.

For me, there has never been any other place where I would want to go to get images, buy type, or (hopefully eventually) submit my own type designs.
Keep up the great work.

Mecanorma had it in dry transfer, too.

I don’t believe that Neil Bold was ever available as dry transfer type…

Actually, I stand corrected on this point. Thank you to John Downer for pointing out that Neil Bold was available as dry-transfer lettering from Chartpak sometime after its release through VGC.

> Mobley appears to be Neil Bold from > the bygone era of rub down lettering. You've got a good eye there James. Although I don't believe that Neil Bold was ever available as dry transfer type - only photofilm. Alejandro of the Sudtipos foundry passed along the following information pertaining to the inspiration for his Mobley family. The product information for Mobley on the Veer site will be updated to reflect this additional background information. Mobley is based on ten letters found on the cover of a 1960s Blue Note jazz album. The ten source letters were designed for film setting by Wayne Stettler as part of a single typeface published by VGC under the name Neil Bold. Mobley Sans and its condensed and serifed counterparts constitute a brand new design molded around those source letters.

Mobley appears to be Neil Bold from the bygone era of rub down lettering.

is there any way to get hold of the
printed stuff here in the old world?

Since we are not currently sending any marketing materials outside of North America on a regular basis, I can see where this would be darn frustrating.

Simon, Rolf… contact me via e-mail and I’ll see that you get hooked up with some goodies.

grant, i’ve been a fan of veer for some time and am growing fonder of it with every further move it makes!

i’m also very eager to see that pdf, especially since a couple of my fonts are also re-distributed through veer (via fountain). is there any way to get hold of the printed stuff here in the old world? i don’t know about rolf, but i would invest some money to get my hands on one or more catalogs.

keep up the great work!
