Typofonderie.com in Dire Straits

In a bit of disturbing news, Jean-François Porchez announced that he is forced to close shop. In an attempt to salvage what he can, he is offering a last chance to purchase his typefaces before tonight.

Yves Peters is a graphic designer / rock drummer / father of three who tries to be critical about typography without coming across as a snob. Previously a columnist for Typographer.org and editor-in-chief of The FontFeed, he currently divides his time between teaching at the Communication, Media and Design department of Artevelde University of Applied Sciences, and publishing at Adobe Create and writing for a variety of type foundries, weaving pop culture and design trends into foundational typographic stories. His ability to identify most typefaces on sight is utterly useless in daily life.
