TypeTalk: What's New on the Font Scene? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q. How can I keep up with all the
newest fonts?A. In the past, almost every type foundry had a budget for printed brochures, catalogs, and posters, which they then freely distributed (literally and figuratively) to promote their font offerings. These days, there are far fewer print materials, and those that do exist are usually catalogs that are for sale and only as current as the last printing. Today, one of the best ways to stay current is to sign up for the free e-mail newsletters offered by many type foundries and resellers. Read on... TypeTalk is my monthly question-and-answer column on typography sponsored by creativepro.com. You ask, I answer! Send your questions to typetalk@thetypestudio.com. If your questions is published, you'll get an official creativepro.com T-Shirt!
