Attention loyal readers; one of the most prolific foundries around is having a spectacular half off everything sale for one day only this Monday. Get em while the US dollar’s worth somethin! Ten of our favorites after the jump.
I haven’t mentioned it yet, but I am really taken with contemporary blackletter.
I often want to make Trajan do tricks like this but it never obliges.
Elegant setting for sophisticated women or men who write as such.
A type so dimpledly cute, there’s no context where it doesn’t come across playful. I don’t want it to replace Cooper Black but I do want it to replace Gill Ultra Bold.
This is based on the handwriting of the grandma of a girl who used to crash at our place in her wild years. For real.
Ok, we’ve been putting off getting Univers but we often need a nice condensed sans (really I only love Univers for 55 and under anyway) and have been toying with plunking down the big bucks for Knockout. But I think half price Trump Gothic is the right path.
What is not to like?
Oh we have a new nephew as of Thursday, woohoo! He’s named Valor; we’ve been on the lookout for playful/cute medeivialia ever since we heard that one. This one makes the grade.
We love Clarendon, but we wouldn’t set a book in it. With Clarendon Text you really can (and dig the true italic.) Oh, and we did! (well, the client talked us down to headers and captions).
Daaaaamn.
