For the past five weeks, our in-house designer Jackkrit Anantakul has been sketching, scanning and designing his latest font (handset) design, entitled Gavin. When all was said and done, the concept sketches had over 1100 letter designs, from which we narrowed down two versions, Gavin and Gavin Alt. Each of these two styles contains over 400 diverse, hand-drawn letters. To celebrate Gavin’s release we created a promotional pdf to showcase possible designs using Gavin. Gavin is extremely fun to design with, and we hope you enjoy reading this complimentary pdf as much as we enjoyed designing it.

This calendar design is our most recent collaboration with our friends at Need Supply. For this project we were happy to consult them to use Olivier Gourvat’s Sofia, which turned out really nice. They also worked with illustrator Emerald Grippa for the wonderful front side illustration. Copies can be gotten by stopping by their retail location in Richmond, VA.

Our hot font release of 2009, Agostina, recently made an appearance in this years hollywood action film Crank: High Voltage. Used during two different sequences in the film, Agostina puts on its dancing shoes and shines. Much thanks to the designers who used our font for this project, and great execution with the sequences! Thanks to Mark Stuckert for the heads up.

We have been having a great month for fonts, with many new designers joining the team and designing many new handsets and opentype collections. One of our latest designers to join the team is Ashkahn. We though we would take this quick moment to tell you you really should check out their work. Lots of great type, patterns and album work going on in the portfolio. Also, check out their first addition to the YouWorkForThem collection, Anything.

LOREM IPSUM VADE MECUM is a publication we’ve pieced together to provide our community with insightful content about typography and other design topics while utilizing our versatile font collection. LOREM includes articles from Design Assembly, Willi Kunz, Terese Elhard, Matt Desmond, Ryan Nelson and interviews with Gerard Unger and John Maeda. The compendium was designed in collaboration with Sarah Kissell. This compendium features many of our popular fonts and incorporates stock vectors and images where possible. All fonts are linked at the bottom of each page which should make purchasing them fairly easy. We hope you enjoy!

We are proud to be a sponsor of this year’s TypeCon 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. If you don’t know what TypeCon is, it is the leading conference in America on all that is Type.
Â
On top of being one of the main sponsors, we are also curating a poster exhibit at TypeCon again. We are looking for your best poster work that has excellent usage of Type on it. Last year we had enough room to show all the posters that were submitted and the work was amazing. As a bonus a local gallery took all the posters as part of their permanent collection in Buffalo. The time before they travelled around at ATypeI and some other places.
Â
To clarify some issues: There is no specific size requirement for your posters. You do not have to create the type shown on the poster and anyone can submit. Feel free to pass this information to everyone you know, the more the merrier.Â
Â
What we need from you:
Two copies of each poster design submitted.
Fill out page 2 of the pdf and print it out twice.
Ship to the address on the pdf by July 3rd.
