Rutherford CrazeHave you used any of our fonts in a live project?
If you’re able to share an image or two (or better yet, submit a @FontsInUse post!), I’d love to hear what you worked on and potentially feature it on the next version of the foundry website

TiffanyHave you ever wished you could have instant access to word count or character count? I cannot recommend TextCount enough. System wide, lives in your menu bar, inexpensive, and not yet another subscription service. This is very niche and not sponsored. https://arthursmithdev.gumroad.com/l/TextCount

@onpaperwings My ideal scenario for funding the government would be one night per year all government employees dressing up as their project they need funded and going house to house with a small plastic bucket. Citizens answer the door with a plate of cash and ask, “And what are you supposed to be?”

@verbosus Super work, Antonio! When we next get the chance to talk I’d love to hear about your process for getting the figures exactly the right amount of Italian.

Doug WilsonA true right of passage for someone interested in type history is being interviewed by Frank Romano for "What They Think" (dot) com.
We talked about fonts, how you don’t technically *own* the fonts on your computer, the introduction of Helvetica in hot metal, and of course, my book project.
If nothing else, enjoy the hilarious vision of myself with a beard that I grew over the recent winter break as mostly a joke!

Today I am thrilled to announce the launch of my new company: Type Advisor.
I’ve had a unique and varied career trajectory, but the one constant for the past 20 years has been typography. For all sorts of reasons, I got bit by the type bug and haven’t gotten bored yet. Fonts are fun!
