Hey Type World, check out what we published today! — The Proof&Co. 2022 Annual Report & Almanac.

It's true, Proof&Co. does not have a presence here on Mastodon (yet?) but we hope you can still connect with it. Proof&Co. is a project we started back in 2018 as a way to see how the world of independent type was growing and changing. These two report documents are the results of this monitoring.

Check out the reports on Proof&Co's Gumroad shop, let's all grow together!

@badson This is a great resource! (thanks @typographica for the referral). I'm sure you've considered it but just to add a data point, it would be very handy to have a preview of the typefaces (eg. the typeface title itself) in the Almanac. Very useful reference nonetheless, thanks for the hard work!

Thanks @db! I agree, type people and graphic design people are visual people and actually having a nameplate setting for each typeface in the almanac would be ideal. Gotta get that going for next year's!
