Rian Hughes is one of my favorite type designers. This brief interview covering his 30 years of type design and promoting his Kickstarter was wonderful. (Also, I completely backed the Kickstarter!)

TYPERACTIVE has reached £24,000 half way through the funding period, which is both unexpected and gratifying. I didn't think they'd be many people out there who'd want a big fat type catalogue, but here we are – thank you! #fonts #logo #design #type www.kickstarter.com/projects/ria...

Kudos to @rianhughes.bsky.social and @koreropress.bsky.social for getting their 'Arthur Ferrier’s Pin-up Parade' box set into my hands a month ahead of what the Kickstarter campaign had promised. Looks great! www.koreropress.com/arthur-ferri...

As an aside, Filmotype fonts live on today thanks to modern digitisations and expansions of their catalog. Mansfield was polished up by one of my favourite type designers, Rian Hughes, in 2012.

Not free but quite affordable, they are some of the nicest vintage fonts IMO.
