The Alphabet Farm Journal at Stone Type Foundry has been updated:
- The lecture Sumner Stone gave on June 18, 2008 to the Rare Book School at the University of Virginia.
Warp & Woof: History, Craft, Concept & Culture, a Personal View of Type Design.
- Images added to The Essential Form, The W.A. Dwiggins Lecture 2007.
Also of note, Sumner posts about a recent decision to assist colleges and universities with student computer lab pricing for the entire Stone Type Foundry library of fonts. Sumner lists a 3-tier pricing scheme that most design schools would be remiss not to consider.

Back in 2004, P22 produced a specimen deck of cards that featured 52 different fonts on a standard regulation deck of playing cards. These were gobbled up quickly, so we held a contest to have guest designers complete a second deck. Briefly lost in the vortex of too many other things, deck #2 is finally finished with all new designs and, dare we say, it’s even better than the first one!
http://www.p22.com/products/deck08.html
While supplies last, you can get a deck free with any purchase of $100 or more. Just order anything over $100 and add the free card option to your shopping cart and we will send you the cards!
If you don’t think that’s a good enough excuse to buy a bunch of fonts, are also offering the decks for sale at $10 each plus shipping. Supplies are limited and as black market prices for the first deck indicate, this is a good price indeed.
Best wishes

Taking inspiration from 18th century handwritten letters, journals and documents, Memoir is a romantic yet robust design. Its textured profile speaks of surface and age, but this face will look very much at home in contemporary design. Useful for menus, cards, packaging, and logos, its versatility will prove its worth. Unlike signature fonts from that era, Memoir is designed to set in a manner that connects fluidly as if it were actually written.
Designers will appreciate the many great typographic features in this OpenType font. Memoir uses ligatures in the most strategic way to mimic natural writing patterns. Many of these ligatures are programmed to work contextually such as at the beginning or end of a word. Alternates are also programmed contextually to avoid awkward clashes and to add to the flow and variety of writing. In current versions of InDesign, you can access glyphs through Stylistic Sets with various degrees of flourish useful for titling, endings and space fitting. Some capitals have as many as five variations. In the glyph menu, look for arrows that reveal a palette of alternate glyphs. The bullet arrow, for example, shows a palette full of extra flourishes, both freestanding and ones that attach to the beginning and ends of letters. Memoir even comes with a fraction feature which replaces numbers and slashes with true fractions. Select, the discretionary ligatures and get old style abbreviations for businesses, names and addresses.

Detail in typography
Jost Hochuli
— a concise work of introduction and reference
— the book is an immaculately produced demonstration of its topic
— written with a light touch
In *Detail in typography* a master book-designer provides a concise guide to setting text. Opening with a consideration of how human beings read, he works from small to larger: from the letter, and the word and word-space, through the line and line-space, and on to what makes whole paragraphs work as carriers of intelligible meaning. This is more than a guide to correct typography. How is it, Hochuli asks, that text can be set perfectly and yet look insufferably dull? Answers may be found by looking at the way in which his own book has been set, and in the way in which it has been produced.
This is a version of the book first published in 1987, now fully adapted to the problems of English-language typography. We have worked from the German-language revised edition, published in 2005 by Niggli Verlag in Switzerland. The English translation is by Charles Whitehouse.

Dear Typophile,
You may or may not know that I’ve been working on a typeface family called Exemplar for the past years but today I’m happy to tell you that this typeface family is released and available via the website of PSY/OPS in San Fransisco. Totally eight weights with a lot of OT-features.
This project has been very dear to me and it feels like giving up a child or something now when it’s finally released.
I’ve prepared a PDF specimen that shows the family and its OpenType features together with some other information.

1) Hot from the press: METROPOLIS POSTER
Illustrator Pietari Posti hooked up with Underware and explored the lost art of the film poster. The result is a super-size-glow-in-the-dark poster, which is printed in a limited edition of 100 (numbered) copies only.
Buy the real poster, before it’s too late. Op=op.
Or get this poster for free when purchasing the Underware library.

Until that time, keep rocking.
