Riccardo Olocco from CAST has written a heartfelt obituary about James Mosley. It touches a note that will hopefully resound with readers, whether they had the chance to be Mosley’s students or not. fontstand.com/news/essays/...

Had it not been for James Mosley‘s tenure, many of the invaluable typographic materials now within the library’s collection would never have been preserved. Photo: Bob Richardson.

This book is out now! Over 196-pages, it dives into the technological differences between the systems of movable type pioneered in East Asia and Western Europe. It is probably the most challenging thing I have designed so far but if it sells well, I might get to do it all over again in English 😉

Free fonts!
I was thrilled when @typeoff.bsky.social found out that the origins of AG can be traced back to Schattierte Grotesk! ☞ www.typeoff.de/2023/04/note...

So we added a Shaded subfamily to Tausend, in all weights + variable font. 🆓 fontwerk.com/en/fonts/tau...

What would it feel like to be asked to create an all-new typeface for the City of Graphic Design? On Fontstand News, you can find out in Matthijs Sluiter’s new interview with André Baldinger and Toan Vu-Huu of BVH Type. fontstand.com/news/essays/...

„Migration“ als politische wie mediale Fixierung ist spätmoderner Aberglaube, die Angst vor dem bösen Blick der anderen. Als könne das Land ein paar Nadeln in die Schwächsten stecken und dadurch allen realen Flüchen entkommen. Zwanghaft gewordenes magisches Denken,
so regressiv wie rassistisch.

A few years ago, the Deutsches Technikmuseum uncovered surviving records from H. Berthold AG’s type-cutting department. Thanks to funding from digiS, files 70 years old or more were digitized.

“Where is our Emigre?”

Yet again, J Dakota Brown said better then me what is desperately missing in our field: we have no place to discuss our profession, collectively.
