Die Römische Linkskursive
Gunther Schmidt is tracking the traces of the “linkskursiv” roman and italic lettering style, commonly used on maps, for years now. We were in contact a couple of times about this. Via three articles on his blog, he was able to dig up quite some information including this great lettering specimen from the “Musterblätter für […]

hurst
Please. I don’t want to read any more Bringhurst quotes in ‘typography on the web’ and ‘choosing fonts’ articles. Especially not the one with typography exists to honor content. Get beyond Bringhurst, people.

Sarre by Sascha Timplan
If I was to write about one typeface published in 2013, it would be Sarre by Sascha Timplan of Stereotypes. A bit random, and because I have a soft spot for these compact sans-serifs with angular notches, but an embarrassingly huge part because of its name and regional associations I have. And that although I’m […]

The Ideal Type Newsletter
I asked my followers on twitter how they would want their ideal type related newsletter to look like. Here are their answers. [View the story "The Ideal Type Newsletter" on Storify]
Taking Over Type Foundries
Type foundries taking over other type foundries is a common thing in type history, but Linotype wasn’t the company at the front of actions. Stempel: 1897 takes over Juxberg-Rust, Offenbach 1915 takes over Roos & Junge, Offenbach 1919 takes over Hoffmeister, Leipzig 1919 takes over typefaces of Drugulin, Leipzig 1929 takes over Genzsch & Heyse, Hamburg (together with […]

Typographers are scholars
says Dan Solo: … typographers are all interested in the history of printing type. There comes a point at which, if you become a typographer, you’ll become a scholar. The two go hand in hand. It can’t be otherwise. I doubt that there are any really good typographers who are not scholars by nature. They […]

Alastair Johnston rants about Helvetica
This isn’t a Blue Pencil (could never challenge master Shaw), just a lazy, quick TextEdit. Alastair Johnston wrote an article on Helvetica posted on Smashing Magazine yesterday. I don’t want to comment on his strong opinion and cut out most of his subjective ranting. But some facts seem to have gotten a bit wonky. He […]
The Hamilton Woodtype Museum is the coolest place in type world!
However, they are being forced to move out of the old Hamilton factory building that houses them and have not funds enough to do so. A minimum of $250,000 is needed to pack up the 30,000 sq. feet of printing history and move to a new home yet to be found. Please consider helping them […]
Notes from Lyon
Posted via email from Starbucks, the only working wifi in town. James Mosley is the best! “There has been a lot of rubbish written about type history.” “I’m thinking of Updike who thought he knew everything about type, but in fact he didn’t know type at all.” “One hero is Harry Carter. And then a […]
