If you’ll be in Portland for @typecon next month, I wholeheartedly encourage you to stop by this show of type and lettering work organized by my pal and tattoo artist, Travis Wheeler (who drew this promo and all its lettering).

Oh no! Saw the news this morning that Berlin’s magical Buchstabenmuseum is closing this October, after 20 years of efforts to keep its doors (in various sites) open. They are currently trying to find long-term storage for their incredible collection of signage remnants.

BUCHSTABENMUSEUM - Buchstäblich Berlin

Das Buchstabenmuseum ist das erste Museum weltweit, das Typografie aus dem öffentlichen Raum sammelt und als Teil der Stadtgeschichte präsentiert.

Aldo Novarese’s Stop lends itself to being customized. In 2008, @verbosus started a Flickr group dedicated to in-use examples of the display #typeface in which the letters have been customized: https://www.flickr.com/groups/customstop/

#FontsInUse has a growing collection of #CustomStop as well.
The latest addition is a sticker for The Pachinko Factory, contributed by @splorp: “The customization […] is delightful … especially the scattering of little #pachinko balls as design elements.” https://fontsinuse.com/uses/69205/the-pachinko-factory

Really lovely hand-painted sign in SE Portland

Once again spotted on a random street in another country because of my tattoos 🇯🇵
I just released my new font Soft Text on FutureFonts. If you've taken a workshop with me over the last handful of years, this is what the materials were set in—a gentle, easy to read, gently-contrasted sans. https://www.future-fonts.com/soft-type/soft-text?v=0.1
Soft Type - Future Fonts

License in-progress typefaces by Soft Type.

Overheard:
You are about to watch the whole world respect a chosen name.
It’s that easy.

Whoops love to say soft and gentle

@heykyle Wow, congrats on the release! Soft Text is beautiful! 😍

Insta-buy for me 👍

@heykyle this is beautiful!
@heykyle Congratulations! The design looks so warm and full of personality 🤩

@heykyle This is quite nice :)

i almost got to the buy button, but i have a couple of questions regarding the license.

am i reading correctly and the license for the font is personal only?
(and also i’m a bit curious about the possible update to the license in the future, is it possible that a font i buy today may change its license in the future? what kind of changes are you thinking about)

(again, been a while i haven’t got buying a font that fast, such a nice work).

@julientaq Thank you so much!

Totally fair questions! It's my understanding (and hope) that this can be used for projects of any kind—client or personal. And I don't have any intention to change the license! I just hope to add more features, like fractions, additional language and currency support, and god willing, a bold, and an italic.

@heykyle awesome!

It was a bit unclear to me which license was connected with the future font purchase.

hope you’ll make a lotta sales to keep it expending.

thank you!

@heykyle dropping also a note, discovered you with that font and found quite a great website, and work.

nice to meet you Kyle

@heykyle 🤩 it's beautiful!
@heykyle Soft and beautiful! Possibly found my text replacement for one of my illustration projects! Congratulations and looking forward to see where it will go!
@typearture Thank you so much, Arthur! Means a lot from you—I adore your work, always one of my favorites to share with students especially. What you've proven to be doable is wild and inspiring.
@heykyle Absolutely beautiful!
